Understanding Knee Surgery
Overview
Knee surgery is often necessary due to arthritis or injury. Osteoarthritis gradually wears away cartilage, while rheumatoid arthritis involves inflammation that damages the joint. Though arthritis can affect anyone, it is more prevalent among older adults. Knee injuries are common in younger individuals, often from sports that involve quick movements or impacts.
There are several surgical procedures designed to address knee issues:
Types of Knee Surgery
1. Synovectomy
- This procedure replaces the lining of the knee. It is effective in slowing the progression of knee problems when diagnosed early, delaying the need for more invasive surgeries.
2. Osteotomy
- In this surgery, bones are cut and realigned to redistribute weight, potentially reducing the need for knee replacement. Early detection is crucial for success, and it can delay knee replacement by up to ten years even in more advanced cases.
3. Meniscectomy
- In this arthroscopic procedure, damaged cartilage is removed to alleviate pain. Recovery time is shorter, and sixty percent of patients experience significant relief for up to five years.
4. Total Knee Replacement
- As the most extensive knee surgery, this is often a last resort for severe cases. Although the procedure is continually being refined, it offers permanent relief from pain and stiffness, proving to be highly effective.
Conclusion
Knee damage can lead to pain and stiffness, affecting mobility and daily activities. Surgery presents a viable solution to alleviate these symptoms, particularly in cases of arthritis or injury. Physicians generally recommend opting for the least invasive surgical options to provide relief and delay the need for more radical procedures.
