Arthritis is a broad term that covers a group of over 100 diseases. The word “arthritis” means “joint inflammation.” Inflammation is one of your body’s natural reactions to disease or injury. It includes swelling, pain, and stiffness. Inflammation that lasts a very long time or comes back, as in arthritis, can lead to tissue damage.

What are the different types of arthritis?

Arthritis is a broad term that describes more than 100 different joint conditions. The most common types of arthritis include:

  • Osteoarthritis: This is  “wear and tear” arthritis, which develops when joint cartilage breaks down from repeated stress. It’s the most common form of arthritis.
  • Ankylosing spondylitis: Arthritis of the spine (usually your lower back).
  • Juvenile arthritis (JA): It is a disorder where the immune system attacks the tissue around joints. JA typically affects children 16 or younger.
  • Psoriatic arthritis: It is a joint inflammation that develops in people with psoriasis (an autoimmune disorder that causes skin irritation).
  • Rheumatoid arthritis: It is a disease that causes the immune system to attack synovial membranes in your joints.

What are the symptoms of arthritis?

Different types of arthritis have different symptoms. They can be mild in some people and severe in others. Joint discomfort might come and go, or it could stay constant. Common symptoms include:

  • Pain.
  • Redness.
  • Stiffness.
  • Swelling.
  • Tenderness.
  • Warmth
  • Decreased range of motion

When you should visit for Orthopedic doctor?

If you have swelling or stiffness that you can’t explain and that doesn’t go away in a few days, or if it becomes painful to touch your joints, you should see a doctor. The earlier you get a diagnosis and start the right type of treatment, the better the outcome will be. Dr. Vishwajeet Chavan may advise that an early visit can get minimum pain.

Treatment options include:

  • Medications: Different Medications are used to treat various arthritis. Non-inflammatory types of arthritis, such as osteoarthritis, are often treated with pain-reducing medications, physical activity, weight loss if the person is overweight, and self-management education. These treatments are also applied to some inflammatory types of arthritis.
  • Physical Therapy: To improve blood circulation and increase muscle-bone coordination, the orthopedic can recommend specific joint-movement exercises as physical therapy.
  • Surgery: Dr. Vishwajeet Chavan may advise partial full-replacement surgery. In some cases of infected joints, the surgeon may recommend joint preservation surgeries to preserve worsening joints and eliminate the need for joint replacement surgery.

Some latest joint preservation surgeries for arthritis include:

  • Arthroscopy and Meniscal Repair– It is an outpatient process to repair torn knee cartilage. The torn meniscus is restored by the MISS procedure and needs post-operative protection for joint healing.
  • High Tibial Osteotomy(HTO)- It is an orthopedic surgical procedure to realign the knee joint.
  • Knee joint distraction (Arthroslysis)- It is an inventive procedure to postpone the need for knee-joint replacement. Through MISS surgery, the bones are ripped apart and allow the cartilage to heal naturally. 

If arthritis is extreme in the finger or wrist, the orthopedic surgeon may do a joint fusion as an adept arthritis treatment in Pune.
