Inflammatory process in the bone: how it happens
We increasingly pay attention to ourselves and our body. Do not forget that with a lack of useful minerals, in particular calcium, it is possible to provoke an inflammation of the periosteum of the shin. Treatment will be difficult and expensive.
Periostitis belongs to the class of bone diseases. As a rule, it manifests itself in the form of inflammation of the periosteum. The disease begins to develop in the inner layer, but because of its instability, the virus quickly infects other layers.
The process of the disease can be divided into several stages: acute and chronic. Because of the onset of the inflammatory process in the bone can be:
Purulent;
Serous;
Simple;
Fibrous;
Ossifying;
Syphilitic or tubercular.
What is a simple periostitis?
This bone disease, in which the inflammatory process in the bone is accompanied by hyperemia, a slight thickening and deterioration of the physiological state of the bones. In most medical cases, it develops after getting injuries and fractures. Often occurs due to bruises and inflammatory foci in the muscles or bones.
The period of development of the disease can be accompanied by local pain and swelling. At this time, the periosteum is very severely affected, mainly where the bone does not cover the soft tissue. It should be noted that the inflammatory process in the bone can go on independently, but within two weeks.
Another problem is that inaction can provoke complications in which fibrous proliferation begins to develop.
What is ossifying periostitis?
This bone chronic disease, in which inflammation of the periosteum of the shin begins because of the development of a new bone or prolonged irritation of the periosteum. The disease can proceed independently, and can be accompanied by an inflammatory process in neighboring tissues.
Most often, ossifying periostitis begins to develop in the cortical layer of the bone or under chronic varicose ulcers. If a person is sick with tuberculosis, the disease can progress in tuberculosis foci.
Treatment of periostitis is to exclude the factors that cause it.
What is fibrous periostitis?
This is a kind of bone disease, in which the periosteum varies in size. This is due to the fact that periostitis has been irritated for many years.
In some cases, there may be a superficial destruction of bone tissue. With the exclusion of stimuli, the dimensions of the periosteum begin to decrease.
What is a purulent periostitis?
It is a disease that belongs to the class of infected skin diseases. It develops when a periosteum infection occurs, which could be traumatized after a fall or injury. It is also possible that the infection can get through the bloodstream from neighboring organs.
It should be noted that in medical history there are cases when the cause of purulent periostitis could not be established.
If the inflammatory process in the bone is not accompanied by purulent formations, then treatment is carried out at home with the use of antibacterial therapy and cold. Training at the time of treatment is excluded completely or minimally. In the case of purulent formations, the treatment is performed surgically.
