Knee treatments
In order to choose an appropriate knee treatment, the doctor will diagnose the patient’s symptoms and consider their conditions as well as severity. There are 2 types of methods for knee treatments as follows:
Non-surgical knee treatments
To decide the method of non-surgical treatments for knee abnormalities such as knee osteoarthritis, the doctor will assess the severity and give proper treatments for the condition such as
Medication: painkillers like paracetamol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) will relieve pain and inflammation of the knees in an early stage. However, they should be prescribed under the supervision of a medical specialist. Self-prescription may lead to overdosing in the course of time which causes severe complications.
● Steroid injection: this method accelerates the effects of pain and inflammation relief in severe knee osteoarthritis patients; however, its usage should be controlled by a medical specialist. Steroids may cause side effects to healthy cartilage to be thinner or more fragile.
● Hyaluronic acid (HA) injection: this aims to lubricate and cushion the joint, reducing pain, friction, and inflammation. This method is suitable for moderate osteoarthritis patients who wish to avoid knee surgery.
● Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection: this method stimulates the reproduction of new cells and repairs the injured area of the body. Moreover, it helps reduce inflammation and pain. This method works with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis.
● Wearing knee support devices: hinged knee brace or other supportive items are able to minimize compression and fraction at the knee surface, while alleviating pain and boosting walking stability. However, using knee support devices for too long may weaken the muscles around the knees.
Surgical knee treatments
kdms Hospital knee surgery integrates cutting-edge technology to optimize the patient’s treatment results. These are our offers for surgical knee treatments:
- Robotic Surgery: specialized surgeons are assisted with robots in knee surgery. This technology is developed to heighten the effectiveness of joint replacement surgery, increasing precision, safety, and reducing errors. For example, due to different personal body structure, the device and its computer imaging system can help target the replacement at the right, proper position personalized for each patient. Therefore, this method helps minimize the risks of secondary repair surgery caused by loose or deformed replacement because it reduces the chances of replacement disfiguration and imbalance as well. Integrating robotic-assisted joint replacement technology into modern surgery also requires experienced surgeons from traditional operations to handle. In addition, they must be specifically trained to utilize robotic assistants.
- Hyaluronic injection
- Arthroscopic knee surgery
- Osteotomy to correct deformities
- Partial knee replacement
- Total knee replacement surgery
- Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty
However, surgical knee treatments are considered under the discretion of the surgeon. Most of the patients with severe conditions and not successful with non-surgical knee treatments will undergo knee surgery accordingly. After the surgery, medical follow-ups and monitoring will ensure the patient will be back to normal with a good quality of life.
Hip treatments
To recover patients from hip abnormalities, various choices of treatments are available considering their conditions as well as severity. In short, there are 2 types of methods for hip treatments as follows:
Non-surgical hip treatments
Patients with non-severe conditions do not require hip surgery for treatment. Possible treatments are as follows:
- Medication: painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs will be prescribed under supervision of a medical specialist. Self-prescription may lead to overdosing which causes complications
- Analgesic injection: pain relieve injection will be considered for cases with severe pain that interrupts a regular daily life
Surgical hip treatments
If the patient suffers from more serious conditions or non-surgical treatments do not alleviate the symptoms, the doctor might consider surgery as the better solution. Examples of surgical hit treatments are as follows:
- Robotic-assisted joint replacement: this technology helps the surgeons increase accuracy and efficiency of the surgery.
- Hip Arthroscopy: surgeons will generally utilize this method with patients with mild symptoms or less severe partial conditions
- Osteotomy: this surgery requires complicated methods to perform, suitable for patients with partial hip osteoarthritis or with a previous record of bone fractures.
- Partial or total hip replacement surgery: this method is recommended for hip deformity or with severe pain that disturbs the patient’s daily routine. Partial or total hip replacement surgery is a commonly chosen treatment for many patients because their leg’s length and mobility after surgery is almost as normal as they used to be. Moreover, it takes them less hospitalization period and recovery time after hip replacement.
Surgical hip treatment is not what you should be afraid of, prolonging your pain is. Before your pain ruins your daily life more, meet a medical specialist in bones and joints and get treated through a proper process to give back your quality life.
