Arthrosis of the knee joint: degrees and treatment in Tashkent

Other names: Гонартроз, остеоартроз колена, деформирующий артроз коленного сустава

Osteoarthritis of the knee joint is the gradual destruction of articular cartilage, due to which the bones begin to rub against each other. This is the most common cause of knee pain in people over 45 years of age. Modern medicine cannot restore already lost cartilage, and this should be understood immediately - so as not to spend years on products that promise to “grow cartilage.” But it is quite possible to slow down the destruction, remove pain and maintain mobility, and in severe cases, endoprosthetics returns a person to normal life.

🚨 See a doctor urgently

With these signs do not wait for a scheduled appointment — the condition requires emergency care.

  • Сустав горячий, красный, резко отёк — исключить инфекцию или подагру
  • Блокада сустава: колено «заклинило» и не разгибается
  • Температура с болью в суставе
  • Резкая боль после травмы, невозможность наступить на ногу
  • Быстро нарастающая деформация ноги
  • Ночная боль в покое, не связанная с нагрузкой

How it manifests itself in stages

  1. 1 степень: боль только после долгой нагрузки, к вечеру; на рентгене минимальные изменения. Именно здесь лечение наиболее эффективно.
  2. 2 степень: боль при ходьбе и подъёме по лестнице, хруст, утренняя скованность до 30 минут, сустав периодически отекает.
  3. 3 степень: боль почти постоянная, ограничение сгибания и разгибания, хромота, деформация ноги.
  4. 4 степень: боль в покое и ночью, выраженная деформация, движение резко ограничено.
Хруст в суставе без боли — не признак артроза и лечения не требует. Значение имеют боль, скованность и ограничение движения.

Causes and risk factors

  • Age is a major factor
  • Excess weight: every extra kilogram when walking puts 3-4 kg of stress on the knee
  • Previous injuries: meniscal, ligament, intra-articular fractures
  • Occupational stress: kneeling, heavy lifting
  • Weakness of the thigh muscles is an underestimated factor: the muscles unload the joint
  • Heredity, female gender, abnormalities of the leg axis (O- and X-shaped legs)

Survey

  1. Осмотр ортопеда: оценка объёма движений, стабильности, оси ноги, состояния мышц.
  2. Рентген коленных суставов ОБЯЗАТЕЛЬНО в положении стоя — под нагрузкой видна истинная ширина суставной щели.
  3. МРТ — при подозрении на повреждение мениска и связок, а не для диагностики самого артроза.
  4. Анализы крови (СОЭ, СРБ, мочевая кислота) — при подозрении на воспалительный артрит или подагру.

What really helps

The methods with the best proven effectiveness are not pills, but changing the load on the joint.

  • Weight loss: reducing body weight by 5-10% significantly reduces pain - this is one of the most effective methods
  • Physical therapy with strengthening of the quadriceps femoris muscle is a basic method that works for all stages
  • Walking, swimming, cycling; avoid running on hard surfaces, jumping, deep squats and heavy lifting
  • A cane in the hand OPPOSITE to the sore knee - relieves the joint by a third
  • Short course NSAIDs during exacerbation; external forms are preferred
  • Intra-articular injections of glucocorticosteroids - quick relief of severe inflammation, but not more than 2-3 times a year
  • Hyaluronic acid injections - the effect is moderate and not for everyone, discussed individually
  • Orthoses and insoles for violation of the leg axis
Хондропротекторы в таблетках широко назначаются, но убедительных доказательств восстановления хряща не имеют. Их приём не заменяет снижение веса и упражнения, которые работают достоверно.

When is surgery needed?

  • Knee replacement - in grades 3–4 with constant pain, limitation of movement and ineffectiveness of conservative treatment
  • Modern dentures last 15–20 years or more; The operation relieves pain and returns the ability to walk
  • Corrective osteotomy - in young patients with a violation of the leg axis and damage to one part of the joint
  • Arthroscopy - in case of damage to the meniscus with blockades; as a method of treating arthrosis itself, it is ineffective
  • After endoprosthetics, rehabilitation is mandatory - the result depends on it no less than on surgery

Frequently asked questions: Arthrosis of the knee joint (gonarthrosis)

Is it possible to restore cartilage?+
Modern medicine cannot completely restore lost cartilage. But you can slow down the destruction, relieve pain and maintain mobility, and in severe cases, replace the joint with a prosthesis.
Do chondroprotectors help?+
They have no convincing evidence of cartilage restoration. Weight loss and exercises to strengthen the thigh muscles work reliably - nothing can replace them.
In which hand should you carry the cane?+
In the hand opposite the sore knee. So the cane takes on part of the load when supporting the sore leg and relieves the joint by about a third.
Is an MRI necessary for arthrosis?+
To diagnose arthrosis, a standing x-ray is sufficient. MRI is ordered when meniscus or ligament injury is suspected and arthroscopy is being considered.
How long does an endoprosthesis last?+
Modern dentures last 15–20 years or more. The result depends greatly on rehabilitation after surgery and weight control.
Is it possible to play sports?+
Necessary, but correct. Walking, swimming, cycling, and hip strengthening exercises are helpful. Avoid running on hard surfaces, jumping, deep squats and lifting heavy objects.
