From the age of 60, 1 in 3 people present clinical or radiological signs, with a direct impact on walking, leisure activities and sometimes even sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">L&#039;<strong>hip osteoarthritis<\/strong>&nbsp;appears later, often after age 65, and in a more insidious way. Pain is often interpreted as &quot;age,&quot; until it becomes permanent or mobility decreases. It is now one of the leading reasons for prosthesis placement in developed countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Very real consequences on daily life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond the statistics, it has a very real impact on daily life. Pain limits movement, alters posture, and prevents certain activities. In the long term, the loss of independence can become significant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">70 % of patients with osteoarthritis report discomfort for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go up or down the stairs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bend over or crouch<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Walk for a long time or practice a sport<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sleep without pain-related awakenings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This chronic pain linked to osteoarthritis often leads to prolonged use of painkillers or anti-inflammatories, with the risks that this entails (digestive, cardiovascular, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not just a disease of old age<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contrary to popular belief, it does not only affect the elderly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More and more young patients, sometimes as young as 35 or 40, are showing signs of joint wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This&nbsp;<strong>early osteoarthritis<\/strong>&nbsp;is often linked to sports trauma (untreated meniscal or ligament injury), excess weight or genetic predispositions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In active or athletic patients, this early osteoarthritis has a major impact on daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It limits the practice of sport, disrupts professional life and can cause real physical and mental distress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consulting early allows for slowing the progression, adapting physical activity, and exploring conservative treatments before resorting to surgical solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Coulin assesses each situation individually to propose the most suitable strategy based on the patient&#039;s age, lifestyle, and expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"max-width: 350px;\"><blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DUX7CEUARAg\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
