Understanding Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Knee OA occurs when the cartilage that cushions the joint between your shinbone (tibia) and thighbone (femur) gradually wears down. This degeneration can cause pain, inflammation, stiffness, and reduced mobility in the knee joint.

Symptoms of Knee OA:

• Pain in the knee, especially during activity or weight-bearing
• Stiffness in the knee, particularly in the mornings or after periods of inactivity
• Swelling or tenderness around the knee joint
• Grating or popping sensation in the knee
• Difficulty bending or straightening the knee

Treatment for Knee OA at Dr. Srivanth's Orthopedic Clinic:

We offer a variety of treatment options for knee OA, tailored to the severity of your condition and your individual needs. Our goal is to manage your pain, improve your knee function, and help you maintain an active lifestyle. Treatment options may include:

• Non-surgical treatments:
  • Weight management: Losing weight can significantly reduce stress on the knee joint and improve symptoms.
  • Physical therapy: Exercises to strengthen the muscles around the knee joint, improve flexibility, and maintain range of motion.
  • Pain management: Medications like pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and cortisone injections can help manage pain and inflammation.
  • Assistive devices: Using a cane or knee brace can provide additional support and stability for the knee joint.
  • Viscosupplementation: Injections of hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in healthy joint fluid, may help lubricate the joint and reduce pain.
• Surgical treatments:
  • Knee replacement surgery: In severe cases where conservative measures fail to provide adequate pain relief and improve function, knee replacement surgery may be an option. Dr. Srivanth is a highly skilled surgeon experienced in performing knee replacement surgery to replace the damaged joint with an artificial implant.
