The Most Common Cause Of Knee Pain And Their Therapy

You will probably only realize that well-functioning knees are important when the largest joints in the body quit their work: When you can only get out of bed in the morning with pain (starting pain), when climbing stairs hurts or suddenly a knee blocks and can no longer bend and stretch. Injuries and wear and tear are the two most common causes of knee pain.

Acute injuries include the cruciate ligament tear that one sustains during sport, for example, on the ski slopes or at the weekend when playing a hobby with football friends. Or the knees cause problems because the ravages of time have gnawed at the meniscus or cartilage for too long, and years of wear and tear have led to a meniscus tear or knee osteoarthritis.

The following applies in both cases with knee pain in Belleville: Comprehensive help is possible, and the restoration of mobility and freedom from pain is very feasible.

ACP THERAPY

Experience with autologous blood therapy (ACP therapy) has been very good for mild and moderate osteoarthritis of the knee.

KNEE INSTABILITY

If the largest joint in the human body suddenly swings out and kinks when climbing stairs, the first important information about damage to the knee: Is it on the meniscus, is a cruciate ligament torn or a collateral ligament defective? On the basis of a thorough diagnosis, stability, mobility and freedom from pain can be restored.

CRUCIATE LIGAMENT TEAR

'At the bottom - turning at the top': This is how the sports doctor aptly describes the situations in which the cruciate ligament typically tears: when skiing, for example, or when playing football with cleats. With a newly developed surgical method, cosmetically excellent solutions are available for sporty, active women who want to show a lot of legs in summer.

REVISION SURGERY AFTER CRUCIATE LIGAMENT SURGERY

Sometimes the replacement tendon that replaced the torn cruciate ligament during an operation loosens. This condition does not improve on its own. The risk of knee pain and ultimately knee osteoarthritis increases.

MENISCUS TEAR

The knee swells and hurts. In addition, it can no longer be bent or stretched. The reason: a meniscus tear creates a disruptive blockade. Experienced surgeons now attach great importance to preserving as much of the residual meniscus as possible as part of a minimally invasive procedure.
