Knee Issues & Treatment
knee replacement treatment
Knee replacement, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged knee joint with metal and plastic parts. It’s usually performed to treat severe arthritis or knee injuries that cause pain and make it difficult to walk.
revision knee replacement treatment
Revision knee replacement surgery is a procedure to replace a failed knee implant with a new one. It’s a complex surgery that requires specialized tools and implants, and extensive preoperative planning.
all type of knee fracture treatment
Knee fracture treatments can include non-surgical options like immobilization with a cast or brace, pain medication, physical therapy, and rest, while surgical interventions may be necessary for complex fractures, including open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) using screws, plates, or wires to realign and stabilize the broken bones; depending on the severity and location of the fracture, a doctor may also consider procedures like arthroscopy for joint repair or external fixation with pins protruding through the skin to hold the bones in place.
knee sports injuries treatment
Knee injuries are common in sports and can involve the ligaments, tendons, cartilage, bones, and muscles of the knee. They can occur due to falls, collisions, sudden twists, or overuse.
ACL ligament reconstruction surgery
ACL reconstruction surgery is a procedure that replaces a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) with a tissue graft. The surgery is usually performed using arthroscopic techniques, which involve making small incisions around the knee.
PCL, LCL, MCL and multi ligament repair treatment
Treatment for a multi-ligament knee injury involving the PCL, LCL, and MCL typically involves surgical reconstruction using a graft to repair the torn ligaments, with the specific approach depending on the severity of each individual ligament tear and the overall instability of the knee; this is often accompanied by a comprehensive physical therapy program to regain range of motion and strength after surgery.
Meniscal Repair treatment
Meniscal repair is a surgical procedure that repairs a torn meniscus in the knee. The procedure can be performed arthroscopically, which involves making a few small incisions in the knee.
cartilage defect repair treatment
Cartilage defect repair treatments include surgery, nonsurgical treatments, and therapies. The best treatment depends on the size of the defect, the patient’s age, and other factors.
patella instability treatment
Patellar instability, or kneecap instability, is treated with rest, physical therapy, and sometimes surgery. The treatment depends on the severity of the injury and whether the kneecap will stay in place.
stiff knees treatment
Stiff knees can be treated with a combination of rest, ice, compression, elevation, and medication. You can also try physical therapy, knee braces, or injections.
GCMD treatment
Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (CMD) is a group of genetic diseases that affect muscles and can appear at birth. There is no cure for CMD, but treatments can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
