Easy Relief from Knee Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is commonly known as the wear-and-tear arthritis. It is a condition in which cartilage, the natural cushioning between joints, wears away. Due to this, the bones of the joints rub more closely against each other with less of the shock absorbing benefits of the cartilage. The rubbing results in pain, swelling, stiffness, decreased ability to move and sometimes the formation of bone spurs.

Osteoarthritis is one of the most common types of arthritis. It can occur even in young people, the chance of developing osteoarthritis rises after the age of 45, with the knee being one of the most commonly affected areas. Women are more likely to be affected with osteoarthritis than men.

What Causes Knee Osteoarthritis?

One of the most common causes of osteoarthritis of the knee is age. Almost everyone will some time or the other develops some degree of osteoarthritis. However, several other factors also increase the risk of developing significant arthritis at an earlier age.

• Age
• Weight
• Heredity
• Repetitive stress injuries
• Athletics

What Are the Symptoms of Knee Osteoarthritis?
Symptoms of osteoarthritis of the knee will include:

• Pain which increases when active, but gets a little better with rest
• Swelling
• Feeling of warmth in the joint
• Stiffness of the knee
• Decrease in mobility of the knee
• Creaking, crackly sound that is heard when the knee moves

How is knee osteoarthritis treated?
The surgical options to treat osteoarthritis in the knee with surgery are:

• Arthroscopy uses a small telescope and other small instruments. The surgery is performed through small incisions. The surgeon removes damaged cartilage or loose particles, clean the bone surface and repair other types of tissue which are damaged. The procedure is often used on younger patients in order to delay more serious surgery.

• Osteotomy is a procedure which aims to make the knee alignment better by changing the shape of the bones. An osteotomy is not permanent, and further surgery may be necessary.

• Joint replacement surgery or arthroplasty is a surgical procedure in which the knee joints are replaced with artificial parts made from metals or plastic. The replacement will involve either one side of the knee or the entire knee. Joint replacement surgery is usually reserved for people over age 50 with severe osteoarthritis.

How to Get Relief from Shoulder Pain ?

Shoulder Instability is a problem that occurs when the bony structures that surround the shoulder joint do not work properly. Shoulder instability is caused either if the joint is too loose causing slide partially out of place or if the joint comes completely out of place.  The bony structure of the joint surfaces, the ligaments, capsule and muscles are all responsible for maintaining a stable shoulder joint.

Causes of Shoulder Instability

Shoulder Dislocation

Severe injuries or trauma is often the cause of an initial shoulder dislocation. When the head of the humerus dislocates, the socket bone and the ligaments in the front of the shoulder are often injured. A severe first dislocation will lead to continued dislocations, giving out a feeling of instability.

Repetitive Strain

Some people without dislocation may have shoulder instability. Most of these patients have looser ligaments in their shoulders. This increased looseness is sometimes just their normal anatomy or due to the repetitive overhead motion.

Multidirectional Instability

In few patients, the shoulder can become unstable without a history of injury or repetitive strain. In such patients, the shoulder may feel loose or dislocate in multiple directions, i.e. the ball may dislocate out the front, out the back, or out the bottom of the shoulder. This is called multidirectional instability.

Symptoms of Shoulder Instability

Symptoms can include extreme pain in shoulder areas, pain while moving arms up or so, lack of proper movements (can’t move hand more than a limit)etc.

Diagnose

First doctor will examine you physically. In the physical exam, your doctor will feel and move your shoulder, checking it for mobility and strength. Then doctor may order an X-ray or MRI scan which will help to confirm that your shoulder was dislocated or injured in the past.

Treatment for Shoulder Instability

After the diagnose depending on your condition doctor may advice nonsurgical or surgical treatment. In nonsurgical treatment, Hands-on treatments and various types of exercises are used to improve shoulder movements. Various surgeries such as Labral repair (Bankart repair), Latarjet procedure, Capsular Shift etc are done if pain becomes severe.

Knee Revision Arthroplasty in Chennai

Knee Replacement  is often done to get relief from the chronic joint pain, arthritis or other factors which reduce the mobility of the knee. It is proved successful in 80% of the persons. But in some, due to various reasons this procedure will not have the intended effect. Then Knee Revision Arthroplasty is the solution.

Knee Revision Arthroplasty is the procedure used to correct the defects that occur after a knee replacement surgery. The major reasons for Knee Revision Arthroplasty are:

• Infection: In every transplant, there will be biofilm. This is an organic material which has microbes in it in a state of hibernation. When this microbe becomes active they begin to multiply and causes infection.
• Fractures: Any accidents or trauma may displace the implant which results in the problem to the implant.
• Instability: This happens when the knee joint is too tight or too loose. This causes pain and irritation in the knee.
• Wear and tear: Over the years the implant begins to wear. Among that plastic implant has more chances of wear because it is misaligned at the time of implanting .

Treatment procedure:

At first, the patient is given a general anesthesia so as not to feel the pain of surgery. Then the doctor removes the old prosthesis and inserts cement block called spacer. The spacer will be treated with antibiotics. After around six weeks, the doctor removes the spacer, corrects the knee and implants a new device. This is a complex procedure which requires 2 to 3 hours to complete. After the surgery, the patient has to avoid involving in tiring physical activities to avoid further complications. Doctor along with a Physiotherapist will observe the patient until he/she regains expected the level of mobility and efficiency.

Revision Knee Arthroplasty

Advancements in science and technology has increased the lifespan of artificial implants. Still, some of these artificial implants wear away, making the need for a second surgery. Revision knee arthroplasty is the process of performing a second knee replacement surgery by replacing failed prosthesis with new implants. Revision knee arthroplasty requires proper planning, sophisticated implants, new surgical techniques and therefore is time consuming.

Need for revision knee arthroplasty

• Loosening of joint
• Infection in joint
•  Instability of implants
• Damage to implants
• Fracture of bone around joint

Types of revision implants
Cemented prosthesis and uncemented prosthesis are the two types of revision implants. Cemented prosthesis uses epoxy cement to attach the metal to the bone and uncemented prosthesis uses a mesh of holes which makes the bone grow into the mesh. In some cases both procedures are used based on the condition of the joint.

Surgical procedure of Knee Arthroplasty
Revision knee arthroplasty is a difficult procedure due to the bone loss around primary prosthesis. In order to overcome this problem the surgeon uses bone graft around artificial joint. After placing bone and other materials, new prosthesis is implanted. New artificial joints are only placed after making sure that the joint is infection free.
Like any other surgery, revision knee arthroplasty has also some complications like implant loosening, infection, wound complications, anesthesia complications etc.

After surgery
Special stocking and well padded dressings are provided to prevent blood clotting. Physical therapies are mandatory to improve the mobility of knees. Routine check ups are necessary to monitor the progress of recovery and to prevent further complications.
