Coxarthrosis is a destructive-dystrophic pathology that covers the hip joints. The disease leads to thinning of cartilage and proliferation of bone tissue, a decrease in free space in the joint. Deformed bones, touching, abrasive, giving unbearable pain. When osteoarthritis of the hip joint develops, the symptoms and treatment cannot be determined independently.

Self-medication, a person starts an illness, risks getting a disability. If grade 2 hip arthrosis is treated with conservative and popular methods, then surgery alone eliminates stage 3-4. Therefore, treatment should be agreed with the attending physician.

The disease is divided into two types:

  • metabolic disorder;
  • endocrine diseases;
  • hormonal imbalance;
  • poor nutrition;
  • blood diseases;
  • cartilage necrosis;
  • prolonged stressful conditions;
  • arthritis;
  • hypothermia;
