Contracture Arthrogenic

Arthrogenic contracture is a disease in which mobility in the joint is limited. This can be caused by various reasons, such as injury, infection, inflammatory processes, as well as age-related changes in tissue.

With arthrogenic contracture, deformation of the joint and disruption of its functions occur. This can lead to pain, limited mobility and decreased quality of life.

Various methods are used to treat arthrogenic contracture, such as physiotherapy, massage, physical therapy, and surgery. In some cases, joint replacement or reconstruction may be necessary.

It is important to remember that arthrogenic contracture can occur in any person, regardless of age and gender. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor your health and consult a doctor at the first signs of illness.

May be caused by joint lesions of an inflammatory or degenerative nature, as well as muscle diseases.\n\nA.**Classification**.\n\nBy etiology:\n\n- Acquired (due to inflammatory and degenerative processes in the joints and surrounding tissues).\n\nDepending on the anatomical level of joint damage:\n\n1. Articular-cafe - local lesions of the capsule, ligaments, tendons.\n\n2. Long-term existing after traumatic dislocations and sprains.\n\nD. Viscerogenic - occur as a result of diseases of internal organs (renal osteodystrophy, tuberculosis, diabetes mellitus, systemic connective tissue diseases, diffuse lung diseases). Bilateral tendosynovitis, bursitis, subtalar dislocation manifest with recurrent vasculitis - presenile. Often bilateral calcaneal-plantar contractures (with Perthes disease
