COXARTHROSIS: CAUSES, SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENTS
Coxarthrosis (Osteoarthritis of the hip) means ‘inflammation of the hip joint’, causing pain and swelling in the hip joint. Also known as degenerative joint disease or age-related arthritis, coxarthrosis is more likely to develop as people get older.
Coxarthrosis occurs when inflammation and injury to the hip joint causes the cartilage tissue to tear. This breakdown in turn causes pain, swelling, deformity and loss of mobility over time. Cartilage is a firm, rubbery material that covers the ends of bones in normal joints and is made primarily of water and protein. The main function of cartilage is to reduce friction in joints and to serve as a ‘shock absorber’.
Patients with coxarthrosis sometimes have problems walking. Diagnosis can be difficult at first because pain can occur in different locations, including in the groin, thigh, buttock or knee areas. The pain may be sharp or aching and the hip is often stiff.
CAUZE
The causes of coxarthrosis are not known. Factors that may contribute to the development of this condition include joint damage, advancing age and being overweight.
In addition, coxarthrosis can sometimes be caused by other factors:
the joints may not have formed correctly.
there may be genetic (inherited) defects in the cartilage.
ligament damage.
The person can put extra stress on their joints, either by being overweight or through activities that involve the hip.
women are at higher risk than men.
SIMPTOME
The most common symptoms of coxarthrosis include:
pain during activities, but also when at rest
increased sensitivity (discomfort when pressing on the area with your fingers)
rigidity
limping while walking
cramp in the joints
swelling
muscle weakness
inflammation
You may also be unable to move because of stiffness or pain in your joints, and you may be prevented from enjoying everyday activities that used to come easily. Your joints may become less stable.
As coxarthrosis becomes more advanced, the pain associated with it can become more intense. Over time, swelling in and around the joint may also occur. Recognizing the early symptoms of coxarthrosis can help you better manage the condition.
TREATMENT
Our main goal in treating coxarthrosis is to improve and restore your mobility (ability to move around) and lifestyle. Part of this goal involves improving hip function, keeping pain under control and resolving pain.
The multidisciplinary approach between treatment techniques will have greater success in treating coxarthrosis. Applied procedures include dry needling technique, osteopathic methods, joint mobilization, postural advice, stretching, strengthening and functional exercises.
Atriceps replacement surgery is the latest and most radical solution for the treatment of coxarthrosis, but it is only recommended in severe cases where no symptom relief is available with treatment.
