Knee arthritis surgery can also cause recurrence

Knee arthritis is a disease based on degenerative pathological changes. It is more common in middle-aged and elderly people. Its symptoms mainly include swollen and painful knees, pain when going up and down stairs, and pain and discomfort in the knees when sitting up. Patients may also experience swelling, snapping, and effusion. If not treated in time, it will cause joint deformity and disability. The knee joint often suffers from joint diseases such as knee synovitis, ligament injury, meniscus injury, loose bodies in the knee joint, popliteal cysts, patellar softening, anserine bursitis, and knee varus and valgus.

The occurrence of knee arthritis is generally caused by factors such as degenerative changes in the knee joint, trauma, and excessive fatigue. Knee arthritis is common in middle-aged and elderly people and is the main cause of leg pain in the elderly. Being overweight, walking in an incorrect posture, squatting for a long time, and cold knees are also causes of knee arthritis. Most patients with knee arthritis have mild initial symptoms. If they are not treated, the condition will gradually worsen. The main symptoms include knee pain, knee swelling, and knee clicking. Stiffness and coldness of the knee joint are also symptoms of knee arthritis. The main symptoms are stiffness, fatigue, colds, or minor trauma. In severe cases, the patient has limited mobility.

Knee arthritis can be treated with medication and arthroscopic surgery. Because the key to treating knee arthritis is to prevent further wear of cartilage. Chondroprotective agents can promote the synthesis of cartilage, inhibit the decomposition of articular cartilage, and have anti-inflammatory effects. They can relieve pain symptoms, improve joint function, and long-term use can also delay damage to joint structures. Since drug treatment has a slow effect, it is suitable for long-term use as a basic treatment. Knee arthroscopy for the treatment of knee arthritis is a 5 mm diameter rod-shaped optical endoscope that enters the joint cavity through the joint gap, magnifies the lesion site and tissue 4 to 6 times and displays it on the monitor, uses small tools to repair articular cartilage, and cleans the joint cavity.
