Hip joint

 

Hip joint treatment in Zaporizhia

Almost every second person after a 50 years age has complaints about painful feelings during walk or if remaining seated for a prolonged period of time. Typical complaints describe pain spreading over a leg, resonating into a waist, and could even create somatic discomfort feelings in pelvic organs (genitals). If you experience hip joint problems, you might have a feeling of friction and reduced functionality in your hip joint. Over a time, the discomfort leads to development of a cautious gait, typically slightly shuffling with a limp, which is another indication of a pathology of a hip joint.

A hip joint is one of largest and most weight-resistant joints in our musculoskeletal system. Every movement of our body activates a hip joint to a certain extent. Accordingly, any disfunction of this structure will immediately affect our lifestyle, and, on top of total loss of mobility, bring strong pain in the hip and stiffness.

  • Continuous, excessive physical activity
  • Age
  • Concomitant diseases or in-born abnormalities (diabetes, hip dysplasia)
  • Excessive weight
  • Hypodynamia

 

Listed above are risk factors for development of an arthralgia or a joint pain, and, at the same time, the reasons to see an orthopedist-traumatologist. At The Rudenko Clinic, we will help to cure and prevent permanent changes in a hip joint at early stages.

Why checking hip joints timely is important?

Due to its anatomic and physiologic built, a hip joint is excessively prone to changes that come with the age and infectious agents. Like a human skeleton, components of a hip joint lose elasticity due to osteoporotic changes and local hypoxia of tissues, which over time lead to hip traumas and hip fractures, particularly, femoral neck, arthrosis and arthritis. Deteriorating functionality of a hip joint inevitably lowers quality of life of any person. Often changes take a permanent hold, and, besides pain, a patient experiences crunching sounds in a joint, lameness, poor body posture and needs a crane or a crouch. A patient suffering a hip disorder, in the absence of timely and effective treatment, will soon need a joint replacement or endoprosthesis.
