HELP PLEASE ANSWER if U know anything about osteochondropathy. They have nothing on the internet is helpful?

PrettyInPink,

As you have already discovered, osteochondropathy is a disease involving both bone and cartilage. The etiology is unknown. Treatment depends on the form of osteochondropathy, and both conservative and surgical methods are used. The disease usually occurs in the epiphysis [this is the end of a long bone that is originally separated from the main bone by a layer of cartilage but later becomes united to the main bone through ossification, which permits growth.] and apophysis – [this is the protrusion of bone near the growth zone, to which are attached muscles and ligaments.] of long bones of extremities and vertebrae. Amongst the hormones that the anterior lobe of the Pineal gland produces is the growth hormone, which stimulates the growth of bone and other body tissues and plays a role in the body's handling of nutrients and minerals. It is not known if this is connected with osteochondropathy. Chronic diseases occur and more often develop in the lower extremities, which are under greater stress. Most are caused by hereditary osteochondropathy. Unfortunately, you do not indicate the location of your problem, and a discussion relating to your forthcoming surgery is not possible. The lack of a specific location will also restrict your ability to discover more detail(s) whilst searching on the internet. I wish you well.

Osteochondropathy is general term describing malformation in bone, cartilage or both, at the ends of bones. It can occur from the deposition of bone-forming minerals in the cartilage, which eventually replaces the cartilage with bone, or it can occur in the bone itself from insufficient blood flow or insufficient mineral deposition. The cause is usually unknown, but there appears to be a variety of possible causes since there are distinctly different problems. There's probably not much information available since the causes are largely unknown and this condition is more of a symptom than a diagnosis. Sometimes the problem is isolated to only to a few joints or a single joint, and sometimes its a widespread problem involving multiple joints in different parts of the body.

Cartilage is needed in joints to provide a smooth, lubricated surface that keeps bones from grinding against each other. When cartilage is lost or replaced by bone, the joint become inflamed, and the bones and any remaining cartilage eventually begins to wear away from grinding. Sometimes the grinding causes excessive deposition of new bone (bone spurs) as the bone tries to heal and other times it just erodes the bones to the point where the joint loses its stability. When the problem originates in the bone (rather than cartilage) the bone tends to crumble near the ends, which sort of causes the bone and cartilage to fall apart at the joint.

To get more information on your specific condition, you would need to find out from your doc the purpose of your surgery. There's a variety of different treatments. Surgery could involve any variety of procedures such as removing bony deposits from cartilage or removing pieces of broken-off bone or cartilage; drilling tiny holes to increase blood flow; removing bone spurs; reinforcing bone with pins, ceramics, or epoxy-like material; or replacing the joint entirely.

Osteochondropathy occurs predominantly in childhood and adolescence. It is believed that due to embolism or thrombosis bone develops its aseptic necrosis. Necrotic bone crossbar lose strength and become damaged even at the slightest load. Further increases strain epiphyses and apophyses of bones, there is soreness of the joints, the violation of their functions, configuration or congruency of joint surfaces that eventually lead to the development of deforming arthrosis. Treatment osteochondropathy Treatment is mainly conservative. Assign sparing regimen or produce immobilization of the affected parts of the skeleton. Extensive use of spa treatment, physiotherapy, orthoses, orthopedic footwear. Run courses bracing therapy. Of great importance is a rational exercise therapy in accordance with the stages osteochondropathy. Residual effects osteochondropathy - deformations and contractures - treated conservatively, with a permanent disability in some cases an operation is performed. The prognosis was favorable, with timely treatment can prevent deformities and contractures.

Consume foods naturally high in B vitamins, such as whole grains, nuts, and seeds, and iodine (fish, seaweed, vegetables and root vegetables).

Exercise daily, at least 30–60 minutes per day, 4–5 times a week.

Practice deep breathing and other techniques that trigger the “relaxation response” – such as meditation and guided visualization.

I agree that I don't like it when the answers are curt, incomplete, or just silly. If anyone who bothers to reply would just take a moment to give an adequate and considerate response, how helpful it would be! Another pet peeve of mine is when they don't choose a best answer and leaves it up to vote! Why even ask such personal questions if one isn't going to thank others for helping?
