Techniques in arthritis hip treatment
Osteoarthritis
is the most common type of hip arthritis. It is also called as wear-and-tear
arthritis or degenerative joint disease. Osteoarthritis is characterized
by progressive wearing away of the cartilage of the joint. As the
protective cartilage is worn away by hip arthritis, bare bone is
exposed within the joint. Hip arthritis affects patients over 50
years of age. It is more common in patients who are overweight.
There is also a genetic predisposition of this condition. Other
factors that can contribute to developing hip arthritis include
trauma to the hip and fractures to the bone around the joint. What
is interesting about hip arthritis is that symptoms do not always
progress steadily with time. The symptom changes with weather changes.
This is important to understand because comparing the symptoms of
hip arthritis on one particular day may not accurately represent
the overall progression of the condition. The most common symptoms
of hip arthritis are pain with activities limited range of motion
and stiffness of the hip.
Treatment of
hip arthritis should begin with the most basic steps, and progress
to the more involved, possibly including surgery. Weight Loss-Probably
one of the most important, yet least commonly performed treatments.
Activity Modification-Limiting certain activities may be necessary,
and learning new exercise methods may be helpful. Aquatic exercise
is an excellent option for patients who have difficulty exercising.
Walking Aids-Use of a cane or a single crutch is the hand opposite
the affected hip will help decrease the demand placed on the arthritic
joint. Physical Therapy-Strengthening of the muscles around the
hip joint may help decrease the burden on the hip. Preventing atrophy
of the muscles is an important part of maintaining functional use
of the hip. Anti-Inflammatory Medications- they help to treat pain
and inflammation. Joint Supplements (Glucosamine) - Glucosamine
appears to be safe and might be effective for treatment of osteoarthritis.
Total Hip Replacement Surgery-In this procedure the cartilage is
removed and a metal & plastic implant is placed in the hip.
