Surgical Methods and Additional Knee Treatments
Comprehensive Solutions for Knee Pain
Knee pain and joint degeneration are common issues affecting individuals worldwide. Fortunately, advancements in orthopedic medicine have provided multiple solutions to restore mobility and alleviate pain. Surgical methods, including knee replacement surgery, are often recommended for severe cases, while additional treatments can help manage symptoms in earlier stages. Dr. Vivek Logani, Director – Orthopaedics, MS (Orthopedics), DNB (Orthopedics), MNAMS, MBBS, is a leading expert in knee treatments, offering personalized solutions for optimal patient outcomes.
Advanced Surgical Procedures for Knee Conditions
Surgical intervention is often necessary when non-surgical treatments fail to provide relief. Some of the most effective surgical methods include:
Total Knee Replacement (TKR): This procedure involves replacing the damaged knee joint with an artificial implant, restoring full functionality and reducing pain.
Partial Knee Replacement (PKR): Suitable for patients with damage limited to one side of the knee, this surgery preserves as much of the natural joint as possible.
Arthroscopic Surgery: A minimally invasive procedure used to repair cartilage, remove loose fragments, or treat ligament injuries within the knee.
Osteotomy: Involves reshaping the bones to relieve pressure on the damaged area, commonly recommended for younger patients with knee arthritis.
Cartilage Restoration Procedures: Techniques such as autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) help regenerate damaged cartilage, reducing the need for joint replacement.
Non-Surgical Treatments for Knee Pain
For patients in the early stages of knee conditions, non-surgical treatments can be effective in managing symptoms and delaying the need for surgery. These include:
Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation: Strengthening exercises and mobility training help improve joint function and reduce pain.
Medications and Pain Management: Anti-inflammatory drugs, pain relievers, and corticosteroid injections can provide temporary relief from knee pain.
Hyaluronic Acid Injections: These lubricating injections help cushion the knee joint, reducing pain and stiffness in patients with osteoarthritis.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: PRP injections use the patient’s own blood components to promote healing and reduce inflammation in the knee.
Bracing and Orthotic Support: Custom braces and orthotic devices provide stability and offload pressure from the affected knee joint.
Personalized Treatment Approach
Selecting the best knee treatment depends on factors such as the severity of joint damage, patient age, and lifestyle needs. Dr. Vivek Logani specializes in tailoring treatment plans based on individual patient conditions, ensuring long-term success and improved quality of life.
