Bone hyperplasia is divided into three categories.
First, cervical hyperosteogeny
Etiology: Age, chronic strain, trauma, pharyngeal inflammation, developmental spinal stenosis, congenital malformation of cervical spine, metabolic factors and mental factors can all cause cervical hyperosteogeny.
Clinical manifestations: there is a strong feeling in the neck, limited activity, a click in the neck activity, pain often radiated to the shoulders and upper limbs, numbness and electric shock in the hands and fingers, which can be aggravated by the neck activity. Different lesions involving different parts will lead to different symptoms, which can lead to later paralysis.
Severe cervical hyperosteogeny can also cause cervical spondylosis, hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, gastritis, angina pectoris and dysphagia.
Second,
Lumbar hyperosteogeny
Clinical manifestations:
The most common parts are waist three and waist four. Pain, swelling, stiffness, fatigue and even limited bending of waist and soft tissue often occur in clinic. If the adjacent nerve roots are compressed, it can cause corresponding symptoms, such as local pain, stiffness, posterior root neuralgia, numbness and so on. If the sciatic nerve is compressed, it can cause sciatica, leading to severe numbness, burning pain, throbbing pain and string pain in the affected limb, and radiating to the whole lower limb.
Third, hyperosteogeny of knee joint
Etiology:
1. Traumatic factors. Due to injury, knee joint deformity or inflammation and other factors, the load-bearing line of knee joint changes, which reduces the effective load-bearing area of knee joint surface, causes uneven stress on joint surface, and is easy to cause articular cartilage damage in the concentrated part of impact force, causing trabecular microfracture (subfracture), bone collapse and subchondral sclerosis.
2. Autoimmune response. After the knee cartilage is damaged by mechanical factors, the "hidden antigens" of articular chondrocytes, mucopolysaccharides and collagen are exposed, causing autoimmune reaction and secondary cartilage injury.
At present, there are many methods to treat hyperosteogeny in China, including western medicine treatment, acupuncture treatment and traction treatment, all of which have certain limitations. Clinically, the external application of traditional Chinese medicine has an ideal therapeutic effect. Drugs are mainly used to soften hard tissues and dredge collaterals to soften calcified hyperplasia parts. Soften and break it down. Easy to absorb and excrete. At the same time, there are some drugs to reduce swelling and inflammation, so that the affected area can eliminate edema and inflammation and relieve local discomfort. Moreover, drugs for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, dispelling cold and dampness are used to improve metabolism, and the decomposed and softened hyperplastic substances are better excluded from the body. Achieve the purpose of treatment.
