After hyperosteogeny of spine or joint develops to a certain extent, it shows serious clinical symptoms, such as dizziness caused by cervical hyperplasia, head and neck pain caused by cervical hyperplasia, inability to turn head normally, pain and numbness caused by lumbar hyperplasia, inability to sit and lie normally, and pain caused by knee joint hyperosteogeny, etc. These severe patients had no choice but to choose surgery, expecting to achieve the goal of radical cure. The result was that they re-proliferated shortly after temporary remission, and the proliferation was more serious, and some patients became disabled from now on.
Why can't surgical curettage cure hyperosteogeny and spur?
(1) the root of hyperosteogeny: hyperosteogeny is a normal physiological phenomenon. When the mechanical balance of the spine and joints is destroyed, instability of the spine and joints occurs. In order to adapt to this change and restore a new balance, the body will increase the surface area of joints by proliferating bone, reduce the pressure on joint unit area, and make the spine or joints more stable. This is hyperosteogeny or spur. It can be said that proliferation is a self-protection mechanism of the body and a physiological instinct of the body.
(2) Osteoproliferation happens to everyone: with the growth of age, the bones have been worn and accumulated for years, and people will have degenerative changes since their thirties, breaking the original mechanical balance of the spine and joints. In order to adapt to this structural change, the body will make up and repair this broken mechanical balance by means of hyperostosis, so as to achieve the purpose of protecting the spine and joints.
(3) Not all hyperosteogeny has clinical symptoms: Although everyone will have hyperosteogeny, not all people have clinical symptoms. Only when the internal environment of the body (mainly kidney function) can't coordinate the hyperosteogeny synchronously, will the hyperosteogeny appear irregular excessive hyperplasia, and the hyperplastic bone will be large, and when the hyperplastic bone involves nerves and blood vessels and the local tissue is aseptic inflammation, it will cause pain, swelling and limb dysfunction of the spine and joints. At this time, we treat and treat the hyperosteogeny as a disease.
(4) The elderly are the main population of hyperosteogeny: the long wear of spine and joints and the decline of renal function are the same characteristics of this group, and the combination of the two forms a high-risk population of hyperosteogeny.
(5) hyperosteogeny is not the patent of the elderly: due to the influence of work style, work habits, work environment, trauma, imbalance of hormone levels in postmenopausal women, some diseases and other factors, the mechanical balance of spine or joints is broken ahead of time, and hyperosteogeny also comes ahead of time. Nowadays, young patients with hyperosteogeny (2 -3 years old) are not uncommon, and they are more common in desk workers or young workers engaged in load-bearing work.
(6) hyperosteogeny will not develop indefinitely: whether it is the old or the young, the degree of hyperosteogeny is limited to everyone, and it will not develop indefinitely. The phenomenon of hyperosteogeny is a self-protection mechanism for the body to restore a new mechanical balance. When the new balance is established and the spine or joints are restored to a stable state, hyperosteogeny will naturally stop. In this process, only irregular and excessive hyperplasia will bring obvious discomfort to patients, and then treatment is needed.
Surgical treatment can't fundamentally solve two problems. First, hyperplasia is a physiological defense mechanism for self-protection, which cannot be scraped off by surgery. Even if the hyperplastic bone is scraped off, it will become more serious in the future. Second: excessive and irregular bone hyperplasia is closely related to human renal function, and surgery has not solved this problem. Therefore, we say that it is impossible to cure hyperosteogeny and spur by surgical treatment in hospital.
