Knee Pain Treatment

Are you struggling with knee pain and seeking a panacea to manage the pain and start living a happy life? Undoubtedly, constant knee pain can be highly troublesome and occasionally limit your mobility. Moreover, the complexity of the knee structure poses a challenge for conventional doctors in identifying the underlying cause of the pain. Therefore, we offer specialized knee pain treatment in Dubai under the supervision of qualified orthopedic specialists and physiotherapists.

Causes of Knee Pain

Knee pain is a common musculoskeletal condition among individuals. It can affect people of all age groups and is chronic or acute in nature. There are many causes of knee pain because the knee structure has various components such as bones, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and muscles. The following are some of the internal and external causes that can contribute to knee pain:

• Osteoarthritis: it is the most common type of arthritis where the cartilage within the joints begins to break, leading to changing the underlying bone. 

• • Rheumatoid Arthritis: it is an auto-immune condition in which your body attacks its own tissues.
  • Ligament Injury: An injury that can occur when your leg is unable to turn or twist. 
  • Meniscus Injury:  Meniscus Injury is an injury that can occur when your leg twists during sports or with aging.
  • Tendonitis: tendon attaches bone to muscle. When inflammation or irritation occurs in the tendon, it is called tendonitis. 
  • Chondromalcia Patellae: it occurs when the cartilage on the underside of the knee breaks, resulting in swelling and pain. 
  • Osgood – Schlatter disease: a condition that causes swelling and pain below the knee joint.

• Prepatellar Bursitis: in this condition, the busra begins to produce too much fluid due to irritation. 

• • Patella Subluxation: Patella Subluxation is most commonly caused by weakness or tightness of the muscles in the hips and thighs, which later affects the movement of the knee.
  • Sports injuries: injuries occur during sports activities. 
• Accidental injuries

Any of the factors mentioned above can cause pain, swelling, and tenderness in the knee. If you have knee pain, you may also experience limited motion in the knee joint. Moreover, you may hear popping or clicking sounds within the knee.

The first step of an osteopathic knee pain treatment in Dubai is a detailed diagnosis. The osteopath identifies the underlying cause of knee pain and corrects the knee’s mechanical imbalance. During the consultation session, which includes orthopedics and physiotherapists, they will take your complete history, including:

• Past injuries 
• Accidents

For fractures and the pattern of fractures, the consultancy board can conduct X-rays, MRI, and CT scans on the knee for more precise results.

Knee Pain Treatment in Dubai

There are two holistic approaches that the doctors recommend for knee pain treatment in Dubai; Surgical treatments and non-surgical treatments. 

Surgical Treatments for Knee Pain

Depending on the severity of the pain and the actual condition of your knee, the orthopedic will carry out knee surgery according to your requirements.;

Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA)

Also known as total knee replacement, this surgical procedure involves replacing a damaged or worn-out knee joint with an artificial prosthesis or joint.

During the procedure, the damaged ends of the thigh bone and shin bone are removed and the surfaces are shaped to fit the artificial joint. The artificial joint consists of metal and plastic parts. In some cases, the undersurface of the kneecap (patella) may also be replaced with a plastic component.

Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty 

As the name suggests, partial knee replacement works differently from total knee replacement. In this procedure, the orthopaedic surgeon removes the damaged surfaces of the knee joint, including cartilage and bone, and then replaces them with metal and plastic implants.  

Arthroscopy

Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which the surgeon inserts an arthroscope, a small camera, into the knee through small incisions to visualise the interior of the knee. After diagnosing the issue, the surgeon repairs damaged ligaments, removes torn-out cartilage, and clean out any debris. 

Microfracture Surgery

Microfracture surgery is carried out to stimulate the healing process of worn-out cartilage. During the procedure, the surgeon makes small holes in the shin bone to allow blood and bone marrow cells to flow into the damaged area. Orthopedic surgeons perform this surgery usually to treat cartilage defects in the knee, but it can be carried out in any joints as well. 

Meniscal Transplantation

During meniscal transplantation, the surgeon removes the damaged meniscus from the knee and then replaces it with the patient’s own meniscus.T

Tendon Repair

Tendon repair surgery is carried out when the tendon is completely or partially damaged. During the treatment, the surgeon will make a small incision over the area of the damaged tendon. After that, the damaged tendon is repaired according to the requirements. In cases where the tendon ends are severely retracted or frayed, additional techniques may be employed, such as tendon grafts or augmentation with other tissues or synthetic materials.
