What happens to sclerotic osteophytes

Osteomalacia sclerosis is a phenomenon that occurs when the cartilage and intervertebral disc ligaments of the joints are degenerated and degenerated due to osteophytes, and changes such as the formation of bone spurs and synovial hypertrophy at the edges of the joints, which leads to bone collapse and subsequent subchondral bone sclerosis. Heavy workers and athletes who often use lumbar activities are prone to this disease, which is most common in the knee, hip, lumbar, cervical and elbow joints. Its treatment methods: i. Surgery. Surgery is not the first choice of treatment for osteoporotic sclerosis, but can be considered when conservative treatment is not effective and the condition is serious, seriously affecting life. Second, Western medicine treatment. At present, there is no effective treatment drug for osteophyte sclerosis in Western medicine, but usually symptomatic treatment is used, oral anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, such as loxoprofen sodium; numbness can be applied to some methylcobalamin and B vitamins; joint swelling with effusion can be localized to extract the effusion and local closure, joint puncture injection of sodium vitaminate injection and tretinoin injection. In addition, the biggest advantage of Chinese medicine for sclerotherapy of osteophytes is that it is pathologically curative, but the effect is slow, so massage, traction and acupuncture can be performed appropriately, and warmth can be strengthened to avoid cold.
