What causes osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis is a chronic disease that develops gradually and is more likely to occur in the elderly. It is mainly manifested by morning stiffness and joint pain, which not only causes pain, but also makes daily life inconvenient. It is recommended to carry out targeted prevention and treatment in a timely manner based on common causes. So what are the causes of osteoarthritis?

1. Osteoarthritis is divided into primary osteoarthritis and secondary osteoarthritis. The two obvious pathogenic factors of primary osteoarthritis are old age and overweight. Factors such as cartilage malnutrition, metabolic abnormalities, force imbalance, local minor trauma, and excessive joint load may also induce acute osteoarthritis, which is more easily seen clinically. In order to reduce the probability of disease, targeted prevention should be carried out seriously. In daily life, we should strengthen the protection of local joints, avoid strenuous exercise, and do not let it suffer trauma.

2. Secondary osteoarthritis generally refers to changes that occur on the basis of the primary disease. Common causes include congenital joint deformities, uneven joint surfaces, mechanical wear, metabolic diseases, joint instability and infection, etc. These secondary factors are easy to occur, and it is recommended to deal with them in time after discovery. We also want to remind everyone that in addition to these inducements, weather changes and excessive fatigue can also cause osteoarthritis. In order to reduce the risk of the disease, you should take targeted defensive measures in combination with the doctor's advice.

The occurrence of osteoarthritis is related to the above reasons. In order to reduce the probability of the disease, it is recommended to choose the most appropriate prevention method according to the guidance of professional doctors. If the disease has already occurred, it should be treated as soon as possible. Commonly used clinical methods are drug treatment, joint cavity injection treatment, surgical treatment, etc. These treatment methods are effective, but careful care is required after treatment.
