Osteoarthropathy

Osteoarthropathy (English osteoarthropathy; other Greek ὀστεῶς “bone” + ἀρθρωπάτης “bone breaker”) is a disease of the musculoskeletal system, characterized by dystrophic changes in bones, cartilage tissue, joint ligaments, causing pain, dysfunction of the joint, limitation of movements in it and leading to bone deformation.

Osteoarthritis (lat. osteoarthritis) is a heterogeneous group of diseases of various etiologies with similar biological, morphological, clinical manifestations and outcome, which are based on damage to all components of the joint: cartilage, subchondral bone, menisci, synovial membrane, ligaments, capsule, as well as periarticular muscles . The syndrome is manifested by pain, limited mobility, cartilage degeneration and osteosclerosis of the subchondral bone.

Osteoarthropathy is any disease of the bones and cartilage adjacent to a joint. Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, or pulmonary osteoarthropathy, is a special disease in which new bone tissue is formed in the human body, which can be caused by various chronic lung diseases. This disease can occur as a complication of lung abscesses, mesotheliomas and lung cancer, and can lead to serious consequences such as joint deformation, loss of function and even disability.

Hypertrophic pulmonary osteoartopathy is characterized by the formation of new osteochondral tissue on the surface of the bones adjacent to the lungs. This can cause joint deformation and dysfunction, as well as disability. Treatment for hypertrophic pulmonary osteoartopathy may include surgery, radiation therapy, and medications. However, the most effective treatment is to prevent the disease by treating the underlying lung disease.

Osteoarthritis or Osteoarthrosis are multiple degenerative-dystrophic changes in the connective tissue of the joints, which is an inflammatory reaction of the joints and manifests itself as a pronounced symptom of arthrosis. As a rule, diseases appear after the age of 40. Currently, 90% of the population, which is almost 215 million people over 65 years of age, are “chronic”. If previously it was believed that problems of the osteoarticular system necessarily manifested themselves when the bones of the limbs or ankle (for example) were broken and then did not recover, now practice shows the opposite. In addition to the obvious problems of the musculoskeletal system, the disease affects the heart, kidneys, respiratory organs and the entire gastrointestinal tract. This is how she progresses. With active destruction, joint cartilage is destroyed, synovial fluid is dehydrated, and areas of bone are exposed. Erosion buildup
