Knee Osteoarthritis & Knee Replacement
Knee osteoarthritis (gonarthrosis) is when the cartilage in the knee wears down. This happens due to aging, injury, or misalignment of the legs (like O-legs or X-legs). The symptoms include pain, swelling, and stiffness. If conservative treatments don’t work, knee replacement surgery can help restore mobility and reduce pain.
Diagnosis involves X-rays and ultrasound to check for damage in the cartilage and joint.
Conservative Treatment for Knee Pain
We offer non-surgical treatments to help relieve knee pain and slow down arthritis. These include:
- Physical therapy and exercise programs
- Cycling and injections like hyaluronic acid to reduce pain and swelling
These treatments help many patients avoid surgery and live with less pain.
Knee Arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy is a small incision surgery that allows the doctor to see inside your knee and repair damage. It’s often used for treating meniscus tears or cartilage damage. The procedure takes about 30 minutes and has a faster recovery time than traditional surgery.
Knee Replacement Surgery
For patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis, knee replacement surgery may be the best option. Our German orthopedic specialists use minimally invasive techniques for a quicker recovery. The surgery typically lasts 90 minutes, and patients can start moving within a few weeks. Knee replacement can last for more than 20 years with proper care.
Patellar Instability Treatment
Patellar instability happens when the kneecap (patella) moves out of place. It causes pain and discomfort. Symptoms include:
- Pain at the front of the knee, especially while going downhill
- A feeling of the knee giving way
We diagnose patellar instability with X-rays and MRI. We first try non-surgical treatments like knee braces and physical therapy. If needed, we offer surgery to correct the instability.
Cartilage Damage Treatment
Cartilage damage can occur from injury or wear and tear. This condition can lead to pain and limited movement. Since cartilage doesn’t heal on its own, it may need surgery.
We diagnose cartilage damage with MRI. Non-surgical treatments like pain management and lifestyle changes may help. If needed, we offer microfracturing or stem cell therapy to help regenerate cartilage.
Cruciate Ligament Injury Treatment
Cruciate ligament tears, like ACL injuries, are common in sports. Symptoms include:
- Sudden knee pain and swelling
- A feeling of instability in the knee
We diagnose the injury with X-rays and MRI. If conservative treatments don’t work, ACL reconstruction surgery may be needed.
Recovery takes up to 12 months with physical therapy and rehabilitation.
Meniscus Surgery
The meniscus is cartilage that helps stabilize the knee. A tear can cause pain and difficulty moving the knee. Symptoms include sharp pain and a feeling of the knee locking.
We diagnose meniscus tears with X-rays and MRI. If the tear is severe, surgery may be necessary. We offer options like meniscus repair or partial meniscectomy (removal of damaged tissue).
Recovery takes around 6 months with physical therapy.
Knee Replacement Surgery in Dubai
Knee replacement surgery is the best option for patients with severe knee pain. A failed knee replacement can occur due to infection, loosened prosthesis, or bone fractures. Symptoms include persistent pain, instability, and swelling.
We diagnose the problem with X-rays and gait analysis. If needed, we remove the old prosthesis and put in a new one. This surgery typically takes 2 hours, and rehabilitation helps restore knee function.
