Causes of osteoarthritis

summary

Osteoarthritis refers to an inflammatory disease that occurs in human joints and surrounding tissues, characterized by redness, swelling, heat and pain. Severe cases lead to joint disability and affect the quality of life of patients. What are the causes of osteoarthritis? Now let's take a look at the reasons for the guidance.

Causes of osteoarthritis

One of the reasons: for patients with osteoarthritis, we should understand some of the causes of osteoarthritis. In addition, the content of mucopolysaccharide in cartilage matrix is decreased, the fiber composition is increased, the toughness of cartilage is decreased, and the anti fatigue ability is decreased. Therefore, the elderly suffer from mechanical damage and produce degenerative changes.

The second reason: heredity: primary generalized osteoarthritis (GOA) has different degrees of genetic factors, such as distal interphalangeal arthritis and Heberden nodule, multiple cartilage dysplasia, hereditary bone nail dysplasia, congenital hip dysplasia and so on.

The third reason: mechanical and traumatic factors: long term abnormal load can affect the resistance of articular cartilage, leading to degenerative changes of cartilage. For example, the hip, elbow and spine of acrobats, gymnasts, ballet dancers and football players' ankle, the incidence rate of shoulder osteoarthritis is high.

matters needing attention

For patients with osteoarthritis, in daily life, avoid contact with spicy food, must avoid overwork. Obesity and stout body: heavy weight, increased joint load, poor posture and gait change joint biomechanics, leading to joint degenerative changes.
