Chondrology

Chondrology is a science that studies the structure, functions and diseases of cartilage tissue. It is part of orthopedics and traumatology, as well as related disciplines such as rheumatology and physiotherapy.

Cartilage tissue consists of chondroitin and glucosamine, which are the main components necessary for its normal functioning. These substances provide the strength, flexibility and elasticity of cartilage, as well as its ability to recover from damage.

Diseases of cartilage tissue can be caused by various factors, such as injuries, infections, genetic disorders, age-related changes and others. They can lead to joint deformation, decreased mobility, and even disability.

Various methods are used to diagnose cartilage diseases, including radiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound. Treatment may include conservative methods such as physical therapy, massage, exercise therapy and medications, as well as surgery.

Overall, chondrology is an important science that helps maintain the health and functionality of cartilage tissue and joints. Its study and application in clinical practice can improve people’s quality of life and reduce the risk of developing disability.

**Chondrology** is the science of cartilage, which studies its structure, functions, diseases and treatment methods. Chondroids are the basis of cartilage in the body, and they perform a variety of functions. Most of the blood vessels in our body are surrounded by cartilage tissue, and in the larynx, trachea and bronchi, air passes through the cartilage. Cartilage can be healthy or unhealthy, like bones, it can also wear out and become damaged.

One of the main diseases of cartilage is Arthrosis (deforming osteoarthritis). It's chronic
