Other post-traumatic coxarthrosis - what does this mean
Other post-traumatic coxarthrosis is a degenerative joint disease that occurs when the cartilage in the hip joint is damaged due to a traumatic injury, such as a fracture or dislocation. it can also occur due to overuse or repetitive stress on the joint, causing the cartilage to wear away and the bones to rub together, leading to pain, stiffness, and decreased range of motion.
What happens during the disease - other post-traumatic coxarthrosis
Other post-traumatic coxarthrosis is a type of osteoarthritis that is caused by a traumatic event to the hip joint, such as a fracture or dislocation. this trauma can damage the articular cartilage, ligaments, and joint capsule, leading to increased friction between the bones of the hip joint and subsequent degeneration of the joint. this can cause pain, stiffness, and decreased range of motion.
