Gonarthrosis and Coxarthrosis Treatment in Aleppo

The cartilage over the bone ends of a joint gradually wears out. As it becomes thinner, cushioning is lost and the bones rub against each other, bringing pain, stiffness and crunching. This is a degenerative disease, not an inflammatory one.

Frequently yes, if treatment is not delayed. With SVF and PRP injections the aim is pain relief and cartilage support without an operation. Joint replacement remains the last option, used when the joint is already destroyed.

Early changes are noticed by many patients 2–3 weeks after the procedure. The result stabilises over about six months and can last several months to several years, depending on the individual. Osteoarthritis being chronic, it requires an ongoing plan, not a one-off injection.

Early and moderate stages are the target. Milder stages usually give a quicker and longer-lasting effect and may lower the need for regular hyaluronic acid injections. When the joint space has almost disappeared, at the most advanced stage, no lasting effect can be expected.

Mostly the heavily loaded knees, hips and ankles, along with the small joints of the hand and the spine. Regenerative treatment is used for all these joints.

Generally it progresses — constant pain, increasingly limited movement, a possibly deformed joint and trouble walking. What makes a real difference is early diagnosis, weight control, exercise and working with a doctor.

An X-ray remains the main method and shows the stage, while MRI gives a detailed picture of cartilage and soft tissues. Ultrasound shows inflammation and fluid in the joint, and blood tests help rule out inflammatory diseases. Existing results can be reviewed by the doctor free of charge.

Osteoarthritis is wear of the cartilage, with aching pain on moving, crunching and stiffness after rest; arthritis is inflammation, with pain at rest and at night, swelling, redness and warmth over the joint. The treatment is not the same, so diagnosis must come first.

Yes, you can. Send the X-rays, MRI or test results; a doctor will review them free of charge, assess the osteoarthritis stage and recommend a non-surgical plan if suitable.

Yes, and you should. The right activity strengthens the muscles that unload the joint, improves cartilage nutrition and keeps you mobile. Swimming, water aerobics, cycling, Nordic walking and yoga are good choices; avoid running on hard surfaces, jumping, heavy lifting and sudden movements.
