CLINICAL FEATURES AND IMMUNOLOGICAL MECHANISMS OF DEVELOPMENT OF OSTEOARTHRITIS OF THE FEMORAL HIP JOINT

Аннотация

Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common chronic degenerative joint diseases, significantly affecting the quality of life of patients. The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the long-term effects of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, including the development of OA. The object of this study is the impact of COVID-19 on the clinical, immunological, and genetic features of OA. The article discusses the mechanisms leading to inflammatory processes in the joints, as well as genetic aspects that may be associated with cartilage regeneration. Patients after COVID-19 have more pronounced OA symptoms, which confirms the need for further study of this relationship to develop effective approaches to treatment and rehabilitation.
