Common Knee Conditions

Osteoarthritis

It occurs due to the wear of the hip cartilage, becoming a degenerative disease. In addition to age and sex, it is caused by other factors such as overload, obesity, trauma, little physical activity, among others.

Bursitis

As in other joints, we have a bag called the bursa, which contains synovial fluid that serves to cushion the shock between bones and tendons. But when this bag becomes inflamed, bursitis occurs.

Fractures

Although the knees are very stable joints, which allow a large amount of movement without any problem, when you suffer a very strong blow, it can cause an invoice.

Dislocations

A dislocation is said to have occurred when the bones that are embedded in the joints move out of place. This is also known as dislocation.

Necrosis

This occurs when the bone does not receive blood, causing the death of the bone. When this happens, the bone begins to deform and lie flat, causing persistent pain leading to surgical intervention.

Synovitis

Synovitis is inflammation of the soft tissues, causing lameness and limited mobility. This is associated with trauma or genetic predispositions.

Rheumatism

This injury occurs when the lubrication between the muscles and tendons is diminished, causing them not to slide smoothly, causing rubbing. Giving rise to deformity, inflammation and pain.

Procedures

KNEE ARTHROPLASTY

This is surgery in which a small camera is used to look inside the knee. Small cuts are made to insert the camera and tiny surgical instruments into the knee to perform the procedure.

Description
Three different types of pain relief (anesthesia) can be used for arthroscopic knee surgery:


• Local anesthesia. The knee can be numbed with numbing medicine. You may also be given medicine to relax you. You will stay awake.

• Spinal anesthesia. Also called regional anesthesia. It is injected into a space in the spinal column. You will be awake, but you won't be able to feel anything from the waist down.

• General anesthesia. You will be asleep and feel no pain.

• Regional nerve block (adductor or femoral canal block). This is another type of regional anesthesia. Anesthesia is injected around the nerve in the groin. You will be asleep during the operation. This type of anesthesia will block pain, so less general anesthesia is needed.

KNEE ARTHROPLASTY

One of the most common surgeries to treat arthritis, a disease caused by bone wear.

KNEE ARTHROSCOPY

Simple procedure where the inside of the knee is observed to diagnose problems and solve them.

OSTEOTOMY

Surgery consists of making cuts in a bone

OSTEOSYNTHESIS

This surgery consists of joining a fractured bone with various materials such as plates.
