Often patients come to the outpatient clinic with knee pain. After being diagnosed with degenerative osteoarthritis, they are surprised to ask, "Doctor, I take Vitamin Bone every day, why does my knee still degenerate!", or "Joint degeneration! Then eat cartilage." Can we make cartilage grow back?”
Zhu Youlun, the chief physician of the Department of Orthopedics of Shin Kong Hospital, pointed out that degenerative knee arthritis is a common disease of the elderly, which is characterized by cartilage wear, resulting in narrowing of the joint space, inflammation and pain. Since glucosamine and chondroitin are both components in the manufacture of articular cartilage, and a theory often heard in traditional diet therapy, "use the shape to supplement the shape", "what to eat, what to eat"; so I would like to say, eat this kind of food Food or nutritional supplements can achieve the effect of cartilage repair and restore the worn cartilage.
Unfortunately, the American Academy of Osteopathic Medicine (AAOS) clearly states on its website that it cannot recommend the use of glucosamine and chondroitin for the treatment of degenerative knee arthritis, despite reports in the literature.
Why do some people say it works? A meta-analysis paper "An Umbrella Review of Initial Treatment of Osteoarthritis" published in the medical journal Canadian Family Physician in 2020 may provide the answer.
Zhu Youlun explained that in the text, 235 papers on osteoarthritis treatment were found on the international medical journal search websites (PubMed and Cochrane) for analysis, and all of them were randomized controlled trials with the highest level of evidence. The study mentioned that. In other words, the experiments that have been shown to work are either privately sponsored or conducted by individuals. The mystery in the fire is self-evident.
Zhu Yulun suggested,. However, if the degenerative arthritis has reached the third stage or more, the pain is often uncontrollable, even walking on flat roads is unsteady, and it is difficult to walk an inch. .
