Cause you pain this autumn
People of all ages are increasingly participating in sporting activities. This is a healthy trend however with the benefits does come some risk, namely sports injuries. Most sports injuries are mild and temporary, with no long-term effects. Minor sprains and bruises or overuse injuries treated properly may be nuisances but do not necessarily cause any permanent problems. Some injuries, however, may lead to arthritis later in life.
Arthritis is usually seen as a condition that affects older people but it can also be seen in younger people. It usually occurs naturally, without any specific prior injury however arthritis can be caused following an injury and is therefore referred to as post-traumatic osteoarthritis, or wear-and-tear arthritis.
Arthritis can be a painful and debilitating condition which is the result of disease or damage to articular cartilage. Articular cartilage is found in all major joints of the body, including the hips, knees, and shoulders, as well as the smaller joints and even the spine and pelvis. Arthritis causes pain in the joint as well as inflammation, swelling and stiffness.
What types of injury can cause arthritis?
It is important to understand the types of injury that can go on to cause arthritis in later life. The types of injuries that lead to arthritis include direct injury to the cartilage (as in fractured joints) or injuries that alter joint mechanics, increasing the stress on the articular surface.
The first type is less common in sports, more often seen in motor vehicle accidents or falls from a great height. In these instances, severe bruising of the cartilage surface may lead to permanent injury and eventual arthritis.
The more common way a sports injury leads to arthritis is when a ligament or supporting structure is damaged, causing abnormal mechanics in the joint. This greatly increases the stress on the articular surface, which over time, wears out and causes arthritis. One of the most known examples of this type of this injury is in the knee. Another knee injury that results in arthritis is torn cartilage.
Treatment of arthritis due to sports injuries
As is true in most cases, the best treatment is prevention of the injuries. However, should you have been unlucky enough to have been injured, and the injury sustained as now been affected by arthritis, there are also ways to treat the symptoms:

- The first is activity modification. Try to remain active but bear in mind that you may need to change the way you exercise.
- Occasionally, orthotics braces or supports (such as knee supports) may help.
- Medications such anti-inflammatory medicines such as ibuprofen may offer relief.
- Physical therapy, including exercises, is sometimes helpful.
- Occasional joint injections may give some relief.
- When all other measures have failed, surgery ranging from arthroscopy to joint replacement can be performed.
Categoría: Cómo sus antiguas lesiones deportivas pueden ser
causa de dolor este otoño
Personas de todas las edades están participando cada vez más en las actividades deportivas. Esta es una tendencia saludable, sin embargo, con los beneficios vienen algunos riesgos, es decir, las lesiones deportivas. La mayoría de las lesiones deportivas son leves y temporales, sin efectos a largo plazo. Esguinces y contusiones leves o lesiones por uso excesivo tratados adecuadamente pueden ser molestos, pero no necesariamente causar problemas permanentes. Algunas lesiones, sin embargo, puede conducir a la artritis posteriormente en la vida.
La artritis es generalmente visto como una condición que afecta a las personas mayores, pero también se puede ver en las personas más jóvenes. Por lo general ocurre de forma natural, sin ninguna lesión previa específica sin embargo la artritis puede ser causada después de una lesión, por lo que se conoce como artrosis postraumática, o desgaste y desgarro artritis.
La artritis puede ser una condición dolorosa y debilitante que es el resultado de enfermedad o daño al cartílago articular. El cartílago articular se encuentra en las principales articulaciones del cuerpo, incluyendo las caderas, las rodillas y los hombros, así como las articulaciones más pequeñas e incluso la columna vertebral y la pelvis. La artritis causa dolor en la articulación, así como la inflamación, la hinchazón y la rigidez.
¿Qué tipo de lesión puede causar la artritis?
Es importante entender los tipos de lesiones que pueden salir a causar artritis en la vida adulta. Los tipos de lesiones que conducen a la artritis incluyen lesión directa en el cartílago (como en articulaciones fracturados) o lesiones que alteran la mecánica articular, aumento de la presión sobre la superficie articular.
El primer tipo es menos común en los deportes, más frecuente en los accidentes automovilísticos o caídas desde una gran altura. En estos casos, la contusión severa de la superficie del cartílago puede provocar lesiones permanentes y la artritis eventual.
La forma más común de una lesión deportiva conduce a la artritis es cuando un ligamento o la estructura de soporte están dañados, causando mecánica anormal en la articulación. Esto aumenta en gran medida la presión sobre la superficie articular, que con el tiempo, se desgasta y causa la artritis. Uno de los ejemplos más conocidos de este tipo de esta lesión es en la rodilla. Otra lesión de rodilla que se traduce en la artritis es el cartílago desgarrado.
El tratamiento de la artritis debido a las lesiones deportivas
Como ocurre en la mayoría de los casos, el mejor tratamiento es la prevención de las lesiones. Sin embargo, si usted ha tenido la mala suerte de haber sido herido, y el perjuicio sufrido como ahora se ve afectada por la artritis, también hay formas de tratar los síntomas:
La primera es la modificación de la actividad. Trate de mantenerse activo, pero tener en cuenta que es posible que tenga que cambiar la forma de hacer ejercicio.
De vez en cuando, los apoyos ortopédicos o soportes (como soportes para las rodillas) pueden ayudar.
Los medicamentos como los medicamentos antiinflamatorios como el ibuprofeno pueden ofrecer alivio.
Terapia física, incluyendo ejercicios, a veces es útil.
Inyecciones conjuntas ocasionales pueden dar un poco de alivio.
Cuando todas las demás medidas han fallado, la cirugía que van desde la artroscopia para reemplazo de la articulación se puede realizar.
