Knee arthritis, by definition, is a progressive disease that occurs as a result of the wear of the cartilages in the knee with age, causing especially severe night pain. Osteoporosis in bones increases with age. As a result, the load on the inner side of the knee increases and an inward bending of the bones is observed.
Patients generally complain of knee pain on the inner side of the knee, which flares up at night, and they say that their bones are rubbing against each other. We generally recommend that patients who apply to the hospital with such complaints have a knee prosthesis. Patients who are more socioeconomically and culturally conscious follow the doctor's advice and undergo this surgery.
Because it is a major surgery, the hospital stay is long, the postoperative period carries a risk of infection, and it is an expensive surgery, there are many alternative treatments. The method is being tested and applied.
It has been observed that the pain of the patients who had arthritis in their knees and suffered from severe knee pain after the torture inflicted on the prisoners by the soldiers in the past, was relieved. As a result of the research, it was determined that the bone on the side of the knee, which we call fibula, was broken in these patients, and it was investigated why the pain disappeared after the fracture of this bone, and it began to be applied as a surgical method.
Knee rod adjustment or load shifting surgery. If we were to briefly talk about the operation we mentioned. In this operation, a 5 cm incision is made on the medial side of the tibia, a 2 cm bone piece is removed from the thin bone we call fibula, and then the knee is entered with a closed method called arthroscope and cameras. Here, intra-knee structures are evaluated and necessary interventions are performed. At the same time, fat cells taken from the abdominal area are subjected to special procedures and injected into the patient's knee, and after opening the joint space on the inside of the knee, the previously worn and injured cartilage is given a breath of relief, thus trying to achieve some cartilage healing.
It balances the array load distribution and extends the life of the array. This surgery is performed on patients who have loading and narrowing on the inside of the knee but are too young to have a knee prosthesis. It is also a treatment technique for r.
After the surgery, patients stay in the hospital for a day. They have a comfortable night, but they may have pain at minor surgery sites.
