Injuries are one of the main factors that increase the wear and tear of joints and lead to their early destruction.
Publika.az reports that about it orthopedic surgeon Maksim Sautin He spoke in an interview to “Ura.ru”. Explaining the main enemies of the joints, the doctor said that injuries do not occur only as a result of sprains and falls.
“This is especially common in amateur or professional boxers who train and fight daily. When boxing, it is not only the hand joints that suffer, but the elbow joints. This often leads to pain in the elbow joints. Elbow joints are very capricious and poorly treated. does. It leads to arthrosis. Therefore, a professional athlete can hardly avoid such injuries, but a good and educated trainer can help an amateur in this. This will help to enjoy high activity with minimal risk.
Secondly, as a result of a sharp blow, the rupture of the ligaments of the joint increases the mobility of one bone relative to another, which greatly damages the joints and increases their wear. It is very important to consult a professional doctor to minimize the consequences and damages.
The third is nutrition. We know that a disease like gout is a specific metabolic disorder that affects the joints. At the initial manifestations of this disease, you should immediately consult a doctor. The doctor will prescribe tests, thanks to which it is possible to identify the disease in the early stages and prescribe therapy. But if gout has already developed, the patient must follow a certain diet.
The next factor that causes joints to “eat” is excess weight. The joints are designed for a weight of 70-90 kilograms, as the weight increases, their wear will accelerate. Obesity is the scourge of modern humanity. Unfortunately, people are rarely able to stick to a diet. All this leads to excess weight,” the doctor explained.
The traumatologist noted that bones have articular surfaces covered with cartilage. This allows for smooth, pain-free mobility, but in an intra-articular fracture, the cartilage is destroyed.
“If the fracture is not repaired correctly, that is, the bone fragments are not put in place and the fracture is combined with displacement, this inevitably leads to the formation of steps within the joint, which in turn leads to the early development of arthrosis against the background of the destruction of the articular surface of the bone in contact.” , – the expert said in his statement.
