Introduction: 

Knee conditions such as injuries, arthritis, and degenerative diseases can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life, limiting mobility and causing chronic pain. Fortunately, advancements in medical technology have led to the development of various treatment options to address these issues effectively. In this blog, we will explore two advanced knee treatment options offered at Maruti Hospital: Knee Treatment  and Total Knee Replacement Surgery.

Knee Arthroscopy: 

Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows orthopedic surgeons to diagnose and treat a wide range of knee problems with precision and minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. During knee arthroscopy, a small camera (arthroscope) is inserted into the knee joint through small incisions, providing real-time visualization of the internal structures. This enables the surgeon to identify and address issues such as torn ligaments, damaged cartilage, or loose fragments within the knee joint.

Benefits of Knee Arthroscopy:

• Minimally Invasive: Compared to traditional open surgery, knee arthroscopy involves smaller incisions, resulting in less tissue damage, reduced pain, and faster recovery times.
• Accurate Diagnosis: The high-definition images obtained during arthroscopy allow for a more accurate diagnosis of knee problems, enabling targeted treatment.
• Versatile Treatment: Knee arthroscopy can be used to treat a variety of knee conditions, including meniscus tears, ACL injuries, cartilage damage, and synovitis (inflammation of the joint lining).
• Outpatient Procedure: In many cases, knee arthroscopy can be performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day and resume normal activities sooner.

Total Knee Replacement Surgery: 

Total knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a highly effective procedure for patients with severe knee arthritis or irreparable knee damage. During this surgery, the damaged portions of the knee joint are replaced with artificial components (prostheses) made of metal, plastic, or ceramic materials. Total knee replacement surgery aims to relieve pain, restore function, and improve overall knee stability and mobility.

Benefits of Total Knee Replacement Surgery:

• Pain Relief: Total knee replacement surgery effectively alleviates chronic knee pain, enabling patients to enjoy a better quality of life and engage in daily activities without discomfort.
• Improved Mobility: By replacing damaged joint surfaces with smooth artificial components, total knee replacement restores proper knee function and range of motion, allowing patients to walk, climb stairs, and participate in recreational activities with greater ease.
• Long-term Durability: Advances in prosthetic design and surgical techniques have significantly improved the longevity and durability of total knee replacements, providing lasting results for many patients.
• Enhanced Quality of Life: Total knee replacement surgery can have a transformative impact on patients’ lives, enabling them to regain independence, maintain an active lifestyle, and pursue their passions without limitations.
