Patient's question:
Recently, I feel that my joints seem to be getting bigger. After a thorough examination, it was said that it is osteoarthritis. Hello, how is osteoarthritis treated?Doctor's answer:
Senile osteoarthritis is also a type of secondary osteoarthritis, and surgical methods related to osteoarthritis, such as significant pain relief, severe functional impairment, joint debridement, joint, or joint fusion, can be adopted for treatment. This disease is mostly symmetrical inflammation, and joint fusion surgery should be decided cautiously. Osteoarthritis cannot be cured, nor can it suppress the spread of inflammation. Symptomatic treatment can reduce pain. Surgical treatment can be performed for significant joint deformities. If a free body causes locking and pain, the free body can be removed. Lip resection can stabilize joint function affected by excessive lip size. Osteotomy can be performed on valgus or varus joints. Due to multiple bilateral or multiple injuries, joint fusion surgery should not be performed.
