Joint False Acquired: Understanding and Essence
Acquired false joint (lat. articulatio acquisita) is a condition characterized by a violation of the function and structure of the joint, acquired as a result of external or internal influences. This condition can occur due to various reasons, such as injury, inflammation or degenerative diseases.
Unlike congenital anomalies, acquired false joint develops after birth and is usually the result of exposure to external factors or internal pathological processes. It can occur in any joint in the body, but most commonly affects large joints such as the knee, elbow or shoulder.
One of the common causes of a false joint is injuries, such as fractures or sprains. After an injury, the joint may become unstable and lose its normal function. This can lead to pain, swelling and limited movement.
Inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or psoriatic arthritis can also cause the development of pseudoacquired joint. Inflammation in a joint can lead to the destruction of joint tissue and deformation of the joint, leading to deterioration in its function.
Degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis may be another cause of the development of pseudoacquired joint. The gradual destruction of cartilage tissue in the joint leads to disruption of its structure and function, which can cause pain and limitation of movement.
A variety of methods are commonly used to diagnose AC joint, including clinical examination, blood and joint fluid tests, x-rays, and magnetic resonance imaging. Based on the diagnostic results, the doctor can determine the cause of the development of the pseudoacquired joint and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
Treatment for acquired false joint depends on its cause and may include conservative or surgical methods. Conservative treatment may include anti-inflammatory and pain medications, physical therapy, exercises to strengthen the muscles around the joint, and the use of support devices such as orthoses.
In some cases, surgery may be required to restore joint structure and function. Surgical procedures may include arthroscopy, ligament repair, arthrodesis (fusing joint surfaces) or arthroplasty (replacing a joint with an artificial joint).
It is important to note that the success of treatment of pseudoacquired joint depends on timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment. If you have symptoms associated with joint pathology, you should consult a doctor to conduct a comprehensive examination and determine the best approach to treatment.
In conclusion, acquired pseudoarthrosis is a condition in which the function and structure of the joint are impaired due to various influences. Injury, inflammation and degenerative diseases can cause this condition. Diagnosis and treatment of false acquired joint require an integrated approach and individual selection of methods, taking into account the cause and degree of damage to the joint. Timely consultation with a doctor and compliance with specialist recommendations can help restore function and improve the patient’s quality of life.
