Treatment of the knee joint is performed depending on the type of injury received by the patient, or the existing disease.
With a sharp change in the direction of movement of the upper part of our body at a time when the leg is a support, for example, when falling in the process of a sports game, a break in such an element as a cruciate ligament may occur. The same injury may result from a direct hit to the lower leg or knee joint. Symptoms of damage are: characteristic cracking, pain sensation, impaired motor activity and swelling in the area of the bruise. Most often, athletes are subject to such injuries. However, these damages can occur in a domestic environment during normal falls. Treatment of the knee joint in such cases is performed surgically. The restoration of the cruciate ligament is carried out using an endoscopic method using a patient’s tissue transplant.
With a deep sharp bending of the knees (squats), as well as body turns, in which the foot is strictly fixed (braking on the slope of the skier), the meniscus often breaks. In this case, severe pain occurs, the motor functions of the joint are blocked, and puffiness appears. Treatment of the knee joint with such injuries consists in the removal of the torn part of the meniscus or its restoration using special suture materials.
Twelve percent of all types of injuries are dislocations of the patella. Often, such damage occurs during the performance of dance movements, playing sports, as well as unsuccessful falls in everyday life.
Often, treatment of the knee joint with such injuries can be done independently. It is made by setting the cup.
Chronic diseases of the knee include arthrosis of a deforming nature, as well as pathology of the synovial membrane. Depending on what stage the disease is at, a specialist can offer two methods for solving the problem: medication and surgical.
If your joint is not able to function normally, then it will be replaced with a metal one. Having chosen the medication method, the specialist should prescribe a course of treatment based on the stage of the disease and the individual characteristics of the patient. After conducting additional research, the question of how to treat knee joints in this situation is resolved. The course of therapy may include the use of painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs. The main ones are drugs belonging to the pyrazolone group ("Rumalon", "Feprazone") and "Aspirin". However, it should be borne in mind that the use of these medications has a negative effect on the digestive system.
Be sure to include desensitizing drugs Suprastin, Diphenhydramine and Pipolfen in the course of treatment. In the initial stages of pathology
It is recommended that medication be injected directly into the knee. Assigned chondroprotectors or hormonal agents help restore the structure of the joint and protect it from destruction. If arthrosis is at the initial stage, it is likely that the course of treatment may be limited by physiotherapy and the application of compresses with absorbable drugs.
If joint diseases are not treated, then pathological processes can cause the most serious consequences, including disability. Currently, one of the leading world leaders in the field of orthopedics is Germany. Medical services in this direction are provided by many leading clinics of the country. Joint treatment in Germany is carried out from the diagnosis of the disease to the course of treatment of various diseases.
