FEATURES OF THE COURSE OF ARTICULAR SYNDROME IN OSTEOARTHRITIS IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS

Abstract

Bone tissue is a constantly updating dynamic system, where the processes of remodeling occur throughout life: the destruction of old bone - bone resorption and the formation of new bone − bone formation, or bone formation. At each moment of time, bone remodeling occurs in separate units of the bone structure− the basic multicellular unit, whose function is to maintain bone balance. There are contradictory data in the literature on the frequency of bone system damage in diabetes mellitus. Some authors give up to 78%, and others up to 93%. The defeat of the bone system manifests itself in the form of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a decrease in bone mass per unit volume and a violation of the microarchitectonics of bone tissue, leading to an increase in bone fragility and a high risk of their fractures. This definition was formulated at international conferences on osteoarthritis in Copenhagen and Hong Kong and is currently generally accepted [1-4].
