Conservative treatment ... a temporary alternative to delay the fitting of an artificial joint

Osteoarthritis is one of the most common bone diseases.

D.A.

The German Society of Prosthetic Joints said that in the event that the process of installing an artificial joint is postponed - due to the outbreak of the Corona pandemic, for example - patients with osteoarthritis should be treated conservatively during the postponement period.

The association stated that this conservative treatment should consist of physiotherapy, pain treatment and orthopedic supports, taking into account the adaptation of the treatment to the needs of the patient.

It is also useful to use walking aids to reduce the burden on the waist and knee joints, as these methods help relieve trouble.

It is noteworthy that osteoarthritis, also known as "degenerative joint disease" or "degenerative joint disease", is one of the most common bone diseases, and it is a non-regenerative damage to the cartilaginous joint tissue, which works to reduce the friction resulting from the permanent movement of joints, and works As a pillow to protect the bones.

The erosion of this protective layer due to the disease leads to friction of the bone tissue, and the friction is accompanied by infections that affect the joint cavity and cause pain.
