Inflammatory osteoarthritis depends on the type of pathogenic microorganisms, their virulence, the location of the inflammatory focus, the patient’s age and immune strength. The process may be acute or chronic. It may occur as a result of bloodstream infection of the bones or as a complication of open fractures.
Inflammatory osteoarthritis – definition
Hematogenic osteitis occurs primarily in children, rarely in adults. Infection occurs through the blood in the form of metastases from the primary foci of infection, the most common of which are:
- unhealed umbilical cord,
- otitis media
- angina,
- abscesses
- skin boils.
It causes them most often Staphylococcus aureus. The course of the disease is largely dependent on bone vascularity, which changes with age. That is why there are 3 types: baby, child and adult.
- The infant form is characterized by frequent arthritis.
- The child form appears from the age of 2 until the end of growth. In this type of disease, the joint is almost never inflamed, but the inflammatory process can affect the entire shafts of long bones with the formation of necomas.
- The adult form appears relatively rarely, most often as an exacerbation of childhood inflammation.
Symptoms of nonspecific osteoarthritis
The onset of inflammatory osteoarthritis is acute with high fever, sometimes headaches, nausea, and vomiting. Later, limb pain may appear, sparing it and warming the skin. The child’s condition is serious and requires hospital treatment. Rapid forms of nonspecific osteoarthritis, resulting in death within a few days, are now rare, thanks to immediate treatment, including antibiotics. ATTENTION! Bone inflammation in children requires hospital treatment.
Osteitis after open fractures results from infection of the bones and soft tissues such as muscles and fascia. The prevention of inflammation involves thorough cleaning of the infection focus, good immobilization of the fragments (stable anastomosis), leading to their fusion, and the use of antibiotics.
The treatment with the use of Chinese cups may help to alleviate arthritis. Order a set of Chinese glass fire bubbles available on Medonet Market today.
Zapalenie stawow rarely occurs as a hematogenous inflammation, as the bacteria dispersed in the blood settle in the synovium or joint capsule. However, it is more common in the case of joint infection as a result of penetrating wounds, joint infection at joint punctures or intra-articular administration of drugs. Initially, the inflammatory process is localized in the synovium, gradually spreading over the entire joint. The course of the disease is acute, with high temperature, pain and swelling in the joint, which limits its mobility.
There is an increased number of white blood cells in the blood.

Diagnosis of inflammatory arthritis
The diagnosis of inflammatory osteoarthritis is usually made after the joint has been punctured. When a patient is diagnosed with a large amount of purulent content in the joint, he or she requires hospital treatment with incision and rinsing of the joint, and general administration of antibiotics.
Prophylactic and auxiliary in the treatment of inflammatory osteoarthritis, for example, hyaluronic acid for the joints YANGO. You can buy it as a standalone preparation or as part of the Natural strengthening of bones and joints – the YANGO supplement set.
