How to treat hip arthritis

Hip arthritis refers to an arthritic disease caused by long-term uneven load on the hip joint surface. It often manifests as pain in the outer part of the buttocks or groin. If not treated in time, it may even cause difficulty walking and bedriddenness. So how can we effectively treat hip arthritis? Let's take a detailed look at some of the most commonly used treatments in life.

Because there are many factors that can cause hip arthritis, such as long-term obesity, or damage to the hip joint due to some external factors and failure to receive timely treatment, which can easily lead to hip arthritis, so we must pay attention to it. Now let’s take a closer look at the treatment methods in life.

1. Non-drug therapy

It includes patient health education, self-training, weight loss, aerobic exercises, joint range of motion training, muscle strength training, use of walking aids, wedge walking insoles for genu varum, occupational therapy and joint protection, auxiliary facilities for daily life, etc. A considerable number of patients in Europe and the United States can alleviate their symptoms and resume normal life and work through the above treatments. my country's investment in this field and the awareness of medical staff are still relatively weak. In the future, medical staff at all levels should pay attention to strengthening this work.

2. Surgical treatment

If the symptoms of hip arthritis are very severe, drug treatment is ineffective, and it affects the patient's daily life, surgical intervention should be considered. However, joint replacement surgery has certain short-term and long-term complications, such as loosening and wear of components, and bone dissolution. These complications cannot be completely resolved at present. The effectiveness of artificial joint replacement is closely related to factors such as the length of operation, the physician's experience, the patient's preoperative physical condition, perioperative management and rehabilitation training. Therefore, artificial joint replacement surgery needs to be performed with caution.

The above is the treatment method for hip arthritis. After understanding it, we found that if the situation is not very serious, some care and health care in daily life can alleviate the problem. However, if the situation is very serious, you need to consult a professional doctor for surgical treatment.
