Coxarthrosis is another name for arthrosis of the hip joint, the treatment of which is very complex and lengthy. The main symptoms of the disease are pain, restriction of movement, shortening of the affected limb in the later stages, atrophy of the thigh muscles.
The disease begins when the synovial fluid in the joint changes its properties, becoming thick and viscous. It does not lubricate the cartilage sufficiently, it does not receive a normal amount of fluid and it dries out. Over time, it thins and collapses because it cannot withstand the increased friction during movement without lubrication. The bones are left without cartilage protection, they become exposed, their load and deformation increases. For this reason, arthrosis of the hip joint is called deforming. In addition to these changes, blood circulation is impaired, the muscles around the joint receive less blood, their metabolism is disrupted, and atrophy occurs.

Experts distinguish three types of changes in arthrosis of the hip joint. Each differs in the degree of pain, muscle atrophy, cartilage destruction. The first two degrees are suitable for drug and complex therapy, and the third refers to surgical treatment.
