Artist Thuong Tin passed away after a long time of battling many serious diseases, leaving shock and mourning in the hearts of audiences across the country. At the end of his life, the actor faced many health complications that caused his body to weaken quickly and his spirit to decline significantly.

According to relatives, in December 2024, artist Thuong Tin was taken to a hospital in Ho Chi Minh City. Ho Chi Minh City for a health check. Here, the doctor concluded that he had severe degeneration of the right knee joint and fractured the patella.

The rush of events made it difficult for his body to recover, and his physical condition deteriorated markedly in a short time.

Specialists say that knee osteoarthritis is a common disease in the elderly. When the articular cartilage layer wears down over time, the two ends of the bones begin to rub directly against each other, causing persistent pain, stiffness, and significant mobility limitations. Patients often experience increased pain when walking, changing positions, or climbing stairs. Some people also hear a creaking sound in the knee joint when moving, accompanied by swelling and inflammation. If the disease progresses to a severe stage, it becomes extremely difficult to walk and it is easy to fall, leading to secondary injuries such as a fracture of the patella, similar to the condition that artist Thuong Tin encountered.

To determine the extent of degeneration, the doctor usually combines a physical examination with imaging techniques such as X-rays or MRIs to assess the cartilage structure and the entire knee joint. Depending on the extent of the damage, patients may be prescribed pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs, or physical therapy to improve mobility. In some cases, your doctor may prescribe an injection of mucus into the joint to aid in lubrication and reduce friction during movement. If the damage is too severe, knee replacement surgery is the optimal solution, but this method is not suitable for older people with weak health or many underlying diseases.

Experts recommend that the elderly maintain a stable weight to reduce pressure on the knee joint. Gentle daily exercise such as walking, swimming, or yoga helps increase flexibility and improve bone and joint health. Besides, a diet rich in omega-3, calcium, and vitamin D plays an important role in protecting cartilage and bones. When prolonged pain appears, patients need to be examined early for advice on appropriate treatment regimens to avoid serious complications.
