You can't get fat during the Spring Festival
In the medical field, we often encounter patients who have a tendency to over-the-top certain diseases. Especially in the field of orthopedics, some elderly people will feel anxious and panic because of some common orthopedic diseases, thinking that only surgery or other ** means can solve the problem. However, this is not the case. In this article, I'll go into detail about three common orthopedic conditions, explain why you don't have to overdo it, and offer some advice and methods.
The first thing we need to understand is osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a common orthopedic condition, especially in older people. It is a chronic inflammatory joint disease that causes joint pain, swelling, and stiffness. Although osteoarthritis causes discomfort to patients, it does not mean that it needs to be excessive**.
For osteoarthritis, the first thing that should be considered is conservative. This includes physical**, medication**, and weight management. Physics** can help patients improve muscle strength and flexibility, and reduce the burden on their joints. Medications** include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and pain relievers, which can relieve pain and inflammation. In addition, weight management is also very important, because weight loss can reduce the burden on the joints and relieve symptoms.
Surgery should only be considered if conservative ** is ineffective**. Surgeries** include joint replacements and joint fusions, which are riskier and have a longer recovery period. Therefore, we should not opt for surgery in the first place, but should try to be conservative first in order to achieve the best results.
Secondly, we need to understand fractures. Fractures are another common orthopedic condition, especially in older people. A fracture occurs when a bone breaks due to an external force. Although a fracture needs to be timely**, it doesn't mean it needs to be excessive**.
For fractures, the first thing that should be considered is conservatism. This includes plaster immobilization, brace immobilization, and traction, among others. These methods can help stabilize the fracture site and promote healing. Most fractures can be recovered well with conservative** and do not require surgery**.
Surgery should only be considered if conservatively** is ineffective or if the fracture site cannot be stabilized**. Surgery** includes both internal and external fixation, which are risky and have a long recovery period. Therefore, we should not opt for surgery in the first place, but should try to be conservative first in order to achieve the best results.
Finally, we need to understand about the herniated disc in the lumbar spine. A herniated lumbar disc is another common orthopedic condition, especially in older adults. It is caused by pain and discomfort due to a herniation of the core tissue of the lumbar disc (nuclear medulla), compressing the nerve roots. Although a herniated lumbar disc causes distress to the patient, it does not mean that it needs to be excessive**.
For the herniated lumbar disc, the first thing that should be considered is conservative. This includes medications, physics, and weight management. Medications can help relieve pain and inflammation, and physical can help patients build muscle strength and flexibility, reducing the burden on the lumbar spine. In addition, weight management is also very important, because weight loss can reduce the burden on the lumbar spine and relieve symptoms.
Surgery should only be considered if conservative ** is ineffective**. Surgeries** include disc removal and vertebral fusion, which are riskier and have a longer recovery period. Therefore, we should not opt for surgery in the first place, but should try to be conservative first in order to achieve the best results.
In short, for orthopedic diseases, we should not blindly choose excessive**. We should decide whether surgery is needed based on the patient's specific situation and the effect of conservative**. Orthopedic diseases need to take into account the overall condition of the patient, the severity of the disease, and the risks and benefits of the disease. Surgery should only be considered if conservative ** is ineffective**. Hopefully, this article will help you better understand orthopedic diseases, avoid overdoing it, and choose the best method.
