Osteoarthrosis (OA) is the most common joint disease affecting both men and men. There is primary and secondary OA. Up to now, the causes of primary OA remain unclear. Secondary OA is associated with the presence of joint injury in the history, with congenital anomalies of the structure, metabolic diseases, endocrinopathies, etc. It is particularly difficult to interpret coxarthrosis if there are signs offemoroacetabular impingement. Periarticular pathology plays an important role in the origin of the hip pain syndrome that accompanies or mimics the symptoms of coxarthrosis. The main goals of OA therapy are to slow down the progression of cartilage degeneration and to maintain joint function as much as possible. Combination drugs containing chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride are widely used to treat OA today.
