Osteoarthritis of the Knee Treatment

Knee osteoarthritis is a leading cause of chronic joint pain and reduced mobility, particularly among older adults. Dr. Sanjay Rawat offers comprehensive osteoarthritis of the knee treatment in Indore, ranging from conservative pain management to advanced knee replacement surgery.

About Osteoarthritis of the Knee Treatment

Knee osteoarthritis develops when the protective cartilage cushioning the knee joint gradually wears away, causing bones to rub against each other. This leads to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced function that typically worsens over time. It is most common in people over 50, though earlier onset can occur due to obesity, previous injury, or genetic predisposition. Early management can slow progression and delay or avoid the need for surgery.

Symptoms of Osteoarthritis of the Knee Treatment

• Knee pain that worsens with activity and improves with rest
• Morning stiffness lasting less than 30 minutes
• Swelling around the knee joint
• A grinding or crackling sensation with movement
• Bowlegged or knock-kneed deformity in advanced cases

Causes of Osteoarthritis of the Knee Treatment

• Age-related cartilage degeneration
• Obesity and excess joint loading
• Previous knee injury or surgery
• Genetic predisposition to joint degeneration
• Repetitive stress from occupation or sport

Diagnosis

• Clinical examination of alignment and range of motion
• X-ray to assess joint space narrowing and bone spurs
• MRI in select cases for detailed cartilage assessment
• Gait analysis to evaluate joint loading patterns
