Knee Joint Treatment Program

Conservative Treatment

To suppress inflammation, painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs or cartilage protectors are taken and cartilage injections are performed periodically.

Knee arthroscopic surgery

This is a surgery that uses an arthroscope to organize and smooth the arthritic area, remove inflammation, and clean it thoroughly. It can only be performed in the early stages of arthritis.

Proximal tibial osteotomy

If you have genu varus deformity and arthritis is limited to the inside of the knee joint, osteotomy is a surgery to shift weight bearing to the healthy side. Depending on the degree of cartilage damage, stem cell cartilage regeneration surgery may also be performed. Having to break the bone may seem like a burden, but it is a surgical method that has recently been in the spotlight because it is simpler than artificial joint replacement and has high postoperative satisfaction.

Partial artificial joint replacement surgery

If arthritis is limited to one part of the inside or outside of the knee, surgery is performed to remove that part and insert an artificial joint.

Total joint replacement surgery

If arthritis has progressed throughout the knee joint, this is a surgery to remove the destroyed joint and insert an ergonomically designed artificial joint. Through a detailed pre-operative examination, the degree of deformity and correction angle are measured, the weight-bearing axis is calculated, and an artificial joint surgery optimized for the patient is performed. It is a final joint surgery method performed on patients who cannot undergo proximal tibial osteotomy, and it restores range of motion, relieves pain, and corrects knee deformity.
