Deformative knee osteoarthritis
What is Knee Osteoarthritis?
Deformative knee osteoarthritis is a condition where the cartilage between the femur and the knee wears down, leading to bone deformation and pain. Symptoms include pain during walking, pain when climbing or descending stairs, and difficulty sitting in a kneeling position.
Treatment methods
Treatment options include exercise therapy, medication for pain relief, joint injections, and orthopedic devices.
Surgical methods
For cases resistant to conservative treatment, surgery is considered.
TKA is performed for patients with widespread joint damage, while UKA, a relatively newer procedure, is suitable for patients with damage limited to the inner part of the joint.
- Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) involves replacing the entire knee joint with an artificial one.
- Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA) involves replacing only one compartment of the knee joint.
TKA is performed for patients with widespread joint damage, while UKA, a relatively newer procedure, is suitable for patients with damage limited to the inner part of the joint.
