Treatment of the knee joint is made depending on the type of injury received by the patient or the existing disease.
When the direction of movement of the upper body changes sharply while the foot is a support, for example, when falling during a sports game, a rupture of such an element as the cruciate ligament may occur. The same injury may result from a direct blow to the shin or knee joint. Symptoms of damage are: characteristic crackling, sensation of pain, impaired motor activity and swelling in the bruised area. Athletes are most commonly affected by these injuries. However, these damages can also occur in domestic environments during normal falls. Treatment of the knee joint in such cases is performed surgically. Reconstruction of the cruciate ligament is performed using an endoscopic method using a patient's tissue graft.
With deep sharp bending of the knees (squats), as well as turns of the body, in which the foot is strictly fixed (braking on the slope of the skier), a meniscus tear often occurs. In this case, severe pain occurs, the motor functions of the joint are blocked, and swelling appears. Treatment of the knee joint in suchinjuries is to remove the torn part of the meniscus or restore it using special suture materials.
Twelve percent of all types of injuries are dislocations of the patella. Often such injuries occur during the performance of dance movements, playing sports, as well as unfortunate falls in everyday life.
Often, the treatment of the knee joint with such injuries can be done independently. It is made by repositioning the calyx.
Chronic diseases of the knee joints include arthrosis of a deforming nature, as well as pathologies of the synovial membrane. Depending on the stage of the disease, the specialist can offer two methods of solving the problem: medical and surgical.
If your joint is not able to work normally, then it will be replaced with a metal one. Having chosen a medical method, the specialist must prescribe a course of treatment based on the stage of the disease and the individual characteristics of the patient. After additional research, the question of how to treat knee joints in this situation is decided. The course of therapy may include the use of painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs. The main ones are drugs related to the pyrazolone group (Rumalon, Feprazon) and Aspirin. However, it should be borne in mind that the use of these medicines has a negative effect on the digestive system.
Desensitizing drugs "Suprastin", "Dimedrol" and"Pipolfen". In the initial stages of pathology
recommended to administer medication by injection directly into the knee. Prescribed chondroprotectors or hormonal agents help restore the structure of the joint and protect it from destruction. If arthrosis is at an early stage, it is likely that the course of treatment may be limited to physiotherapy and the application of compresses with absorbable preparations.
If the treatment of diseases of the joints is not carried out, then pathological processes can cause the most serious consequences, including disability. Currently, one of the world's leading leaders in the field of orthopedics is Germany. Medical services in this area are provided by many leading clinics in the country. Treatment of joints in Germany is carried out from the diagnosis of the disease to the course of therapy for various diseases.
