What are the treatment methods of knee spur?

Bone spur is a common disease in orthopedics. Many people suffer from bone spurs in life, and many people suffer from bone spurs, which has a great influence on people's daily life, so many people want to cure bone spurs. So what are the treatments for knee spurs? What is the best method to treat knee spur?

1, western medicine treatment

If the spur is not serious, you can treat it symptomatically. If you have pain, you can take antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs; Vitamin B family can be used for local numbness, and local drainage or blocking therapy can be used for joint swelling or hydrops; These methods can alleviate and control the disease, but they can't cure it.

2, Chinese medicine treatment

Traditional Chinese medicine treatment mainly relies on drugs with the functions of dredging meridians, promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis and dispelling cold, and the treatment effect is lasting and more thorough. With acupuncture, massage, external application of ointment and other methods, local pain relief, elimination of inflammation, control of the disease.

3. Surgical therapy

Surgical treatment is mainly aimed at all kinds of patients with bone spurs who are ineffective or seriously ill after conservative treatment. Its principle is mainly to reduce oppression, eliminate stimulation and enhance stability. Although surgery can remove bone spurs, it is also a kind of trauma, and the possibility of recurrence cannot be ruled out. Therefore, it is generally not the first choice for treatment. Surgery is not suitable for the elderly, people with physical weakness, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases or diabetes.

4. Other treatment methods

Treatment of bone spurs can also choose some physical therapy methods to play an auxiliary treatment effect. Such as ultraviolet therapy, hot compress, massage, direct current drug iontophoresis, ultrasound and so on. Spur itself is a natural degradation and strengthening phenomenon with the increase of age. If there is no nerve compression and no obvious discomfort symptoms, only X-rays show bone spurs, which can generally be left untreated. Pay attention to adjusting exercise intensity, reducing joint load and correcting bad posture in life.

5. Diet therapy

People suffering from bone spurs should pay more attention to supplement calcium-rich foods in their diet, such as milk, eggs, bean products, shrimp skin, kelp and sesame seeds. In addition to food, calcium tablets can also be supplemented appropriately, which is conducive to strengthening bones and relieving illness. Avoid sugar, wine, cigarettes, coffee and oranges, lemons, oranges and other foods, which are easy to disturb the mineral balance in the body and are not conducive to the recovery of diseases.

6. General therapy

In life, try to reduce the weight of the knee joint, especially when standing up suddenly, pay attention to supporting with both hands to reduce the pressure on the articular cartilage, and pay attention to holding the handrails on both sides when going up and down the stairs. If the pain is severe, you should stay in bed and walk with crutches when you have an acute attack. In order to prevent muscle atrophy around the knee joint, muscle exercise should be carried out every day, such as straight leg lifting exercise for 15 minutes every day, stepping on a fixed bicycle for 30 minutes every day, and knee flexion and extension exercise for 50 times every day. Obese people can lose weight properly and reduce joint pressure.

7. How to prevent bone spurs?

1, joint injuries should be handled in time: joint injuries include soft tissue injuries and bone injuries. Osteoproliferation of joints is often directly related to intra-articular fractures. Traumatic arthritis is caused by incomplete reduction of fracture and uneven articular cartilage surface. For patients with intra-articular fractures, traumatic arthritis and joint hyperosteogeny can be completely avoided if they can be treated in time and anatomical reduction is carried out.

2. Maintain a proper weight: Overweight is one of the important reasons for inducing hyperosteogeny of spine and joints. Overweight will accelerate the wear of articular cartilage, make the stress on articular cartilage uneven, and cause hyperosteogeny. Therefore, for overweight people, proper weight loss can prevent hyperosteogeny of spine and joints.

3. Appropriate physical exercise: avoiding strenuous exercise for a long time is not inactivity. On the contrary, proper physical exercise is one of the good ways to prevent hyperosteogeny. Because the nutrition of articular cartilage comes from joint fluid, and joint fluid can only enter cartilage through "extrusion" to promote cartilage metabolism. Proper exercise, especially joint exercise, can increase the pressure in the joint cavity, which is conducive to the infiltration of joint fluid into cartilage and alleviate the degenerative changes of articular cartilage, thus reducing or preventing bone hyperplasia, especially the proliferation and degenerative changes of articular cartilage. Long-term, excessive and strenuous exercise or activity is one of the basic reasons for inducing hyperosteogeny. Especially for weight-bearing joints (such as knee joint and hip joint), excessive exercise increases the stress on the joint surface and intensifies the wear. Long-term strenuous exercise will also cause excessive stress and traction on bones and surrounding soft tissues, leading to local soft tissue injury and uneven stress on ilium, which will lead to hyperosteogeny.
