Bone hyperplasia on the upper edge of the patella

Osteophyte is a very common bone disease, and middle-aged and elderly people are most susceptible to it. Bone hyperplasia can occur in any part of the body. Some patients are diagnosed with bone hyperplasia above the patella, that is, bone hyperplasia of the knee, which has a great impact on the patient's normal life and can even lead to functional limitation in severe cases. We need to have a full understanding of the bone hyperplasia on the upper edge of the patella in order to ensure the best treatment.

Knee joint bone hyperplasia is more common in middle-aged and elderly people, and the incidence rate in women is higher than that in men. For the treatment of bone hyperplasia of the knee, you can use the Bone Soothing Pain-Relieving Patch externally to treat bone hyperplasia of the knee, promote blood circulation, relax local muscles and relieve pain, and reduce pressure on nerves. The key to treating bone hyperplasia is not to eliminate bone hyperplasia, but to eliminate the aseptic inflammation around bone hyperplasia. The main symptoms of patients are discomfort, pain and swelling in one or both joints. Initially, the pain occurs mostly when walking for a long time or going up and down stairs, but it improves after resting or lying in bed. However, as the disease progresses, it becomes painful to walk on a flat surface, movement is inconvenient, joints are unstable, and pain will be felt if one is not careful when walking. At the same time, there is a sound like twisting hair when moving the knee joint. In severe cases, the knee joint may suddenly "lock" in a certain position, and when it is unlocked, there will be a noticeable popping sound. This indicates that there are loose bodies in the joint, which can prevent the condition from getting worse.

Early days

Generally, pain or numbness, joint popping, and joint flexion and extension dysfunction occur when walking, jogging, going up and down stairs, standing for a long time, squatting, or running, and the pain is relieved after rest. Middle-aged and elderly people often experience morning stiffness.

Mid-term

The pain will worsen when the weather is cold or humid. The knee joint will be painful, numb and stiff when you get up in the morning or stand up after sitting for a long time. It will get better after a little movement. This is a cause for attention.

Later

Knee joint swelling, joint effusion, morning stiffness and sticking after sitting for a long time, joint flexion and extension dysfunction, limp, limited function, clicking sound during flexion and extension activities, aggravated knee joint symptoms when going down stairs or standing for a long time. Joint effusion can be seen in some patients, with obvious local swelling and compression. There is a cord-like mass on the anterior and medial side of the knee joint accompanied by knee extension dysfunction, bone spurs form around the knee joint, and there is osteoporosis and osteosclerosis around the joint. The articular surface is rough and uneven, with the medial tibiofemoral articular surface significantly affected and the joint space narrowed. In most cases, medial space narrowing and patellar spur formation will occur.

Governing Law

Drug therapy

Knee joint bone hyperplasia is a common and frequently occurring clinical disease, which often occurs in middle-aged and elderly patients.

The clinical symptoms are severe pain in both knee joints, weakness in walking, limited movement, and X-ray examination showing bone hyperplasia in both knee joints. The surgical indications for this disease are high and the effect is poor, which brings great difficulties to the treatment.

Traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be roughly divided into two categories: one is internal treatment, namely oral decoctions, pills, powders, wine preparations, etc.; the other is external treatment, namely wine-based ointments, fumigation, external application, etc. Oral medications are absorbed, digested, and decomposed through the gastrointestinal tract and finally circulate through the blood before they can be delivered to the local area. The entire process requires passing through layers of barriers to reach the lesion site, but by then the efficacy of the medication has been reduced to a minimum, so the effect is extremely slow and inefficient. Moreover, the clinical application of these methods can only relieve pain symptoms, functional rehabilitation is irreversible, and bone repair is out of the question. Moreover, oral medications can cause great damage to the liver, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, choosing a drug introduction thermotherapy device for drug introduction will have a better effect. The drug will penetrate from the skin and into the bone without any side effects.

The key to treating bone hyperplasia is not to eliminate bone hyperplasia, but to eliminate the aseptic inflammation around bone hyperplasia. If there is pain, symptomatic treatment can be carried out with anti-inflammatory analgesics or blockade. Hot compresses, physical therapy, massage and traction can also be used to promote blood circulation, relax local muscles and relieve pain, or a small needle knife can be used to reduce pressure on nerves. At present, it is generally recommended domestically and internationally that patients with bone hyperplasia use drug introduction thermal therapy devices in daily home care and rehabilitation treatment. It uses low-frequency modulation of medium-frequency pulse current and drug guidance to combine medium-frequency electricity and drug introduction to achieve the therapeutic effect on the disease. It can be used alone or in combination with topical medications. When used in combination with topical medications, in addition to its own effect, it can also double the effect of the drug. Clinically proven to have definite therapeutic effects. It is very suitable for use in the treatment of knee bone hyperplasia. It is easy to operate, safe to use, and easy to carry. It is especially suitable for clinic and home use.

When elderly people find obvious bone hyperplasia, they should still do moderate exercise, but avoid long-term strenuous exercise, because long-term strenuous exercise can cause uneven force and excessive load on the bones and surrounding soft tissues, thereby aggravating pain. At the same time, pay attention to keep warm.

Family treatment

As we age, the knee joints suffer from long-term wear and tear and the surrounding ligaments loosen, causing joint instability and leading to lesions that cause bone hyperplasia in the corresponding areas. This type of hyperplasia is a phenomenon of human aging. Generally, after the age of 40, most people have bone hyperplasia, but the location and degree of hyperplasia are different. Some have symptoms, while others are asymptomatic. Treatment can be roughly divided into two categories: one is internal treatment, which includes oral decoctions, pills, powders, and wine preparations, etc.; the other is external treatment, which includes external alcohol ointments, fumigation, etc. Oral medications are absorbed, digested, and decomposed through the gastrointestinal tract and finally circulate through the blood before they can be delivered to the local area. The entire process requires passing through layers of barriers to reach the lesion site, but by then the efficacy of the medication has been reduced to a minimum, so the effect is extremely slow and inefficient. Moreover, the clinical application of these methods can only relieve pain symptoms, functional rehabilitation is irreversible, and bone repair is out of the question. Moreover, oral medications can cause great damage to the liver, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract.
