Thanks for the invitation. The term arthritis of the knee is not too accurate, but I understand what you are trying to say, that is, arthritis that occurs in the knee area, and arthritis is a general term. Common arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, osteoarthritis, gouty arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, infectious arthritis, and so on, can involve the knee joint. In addition, when it comes to the treatment of arthritis in the knee area, it is usually necessary to first clarify which type of arthritis it is caused by, as these different arthritis treatments are different. Therefore, it is recommended to visit the rheumatology department of the hospital, and the doctor will help you to clarify the cause of the disease and then carry out targeted treatment. Hope it helps!

Stem cells have a strong self-renewal ability and differentiation potential, and are able to repair various tissues in the human body, especially in joint repair, cartilage healing and post-traumatic inflammation, which has been clinically proven.

The main function of stem cells is that they can actively migrate to the damaged area for repair and reconstruction under the action of microenvironment in the body, and promote the regeneration of damaged cartilage. At the same time, it can secrete a variety of cytokines with immune-regulating and anti-inflammatory effects to alleviate the clinical symptoms of osteoarthritis, which provides the possibility of curing osteoarthritis fundamentally.

What is the treatment for arthritis in the legs?

Leg arthritis is mostly a kind of osteoarthritis in the knee joint, and the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee joint is based on different stages of the disease, using different treatment methods. If only mild osteoarthritis, like the most common is patellofemoral joint osteoarthritis, this time the main treatment:

1, pay attention to joint warmth, reduce squatting, going up and down stairs, climbing and other actions, you can take oral nutritional cartilage medicine, if the medicine does not work, you can do joint cavity injection of sodium vitreous acid, to alleviate the patellofemoral joint is not smooth, including nutritional cartilage treatment.

2, if the symptoms are aggravated, not only pure patellofemoral joint problems, but also the wear and tear of the weight-bearing surface of the articular cartilage, joint space and other obvious narrowing, some people's eyes of the emergence of the legs, this time may need surgical intervention. Surgery is also performed in different ways depending on the condition. If the joint space is narrowed on the inner side and the joint is fine, it may be possible to do a simple medial unicondylar joint replacement, or to remove the bad articular cartilage and replace it with a metal or artificial pad, which will straighten the leg and make it less painful to move. If the whole joint is bad, it may be necessary to replace the entire knee, both the inside and outside. If the wear and tear of the joint is not too serious, but there is a little wear and tear on the inner side of the joint, and then the whole force line is poor, we can also do knee-preserving high tibial osteotomy surgery, so that after the force line is corrected, the degeneration of the cartilage can be slowed down, and then the symptoms can disappear.

Thanks for the invitation. There are many ways to treat knee arthritis, which can be roughly categorized into conservative treatment and non-conservative treatment. Generally, it is recommended to adopt Chinese medicine conservative treatment, which has little side effects and is not easy to recur.

The most common symptom of knee osteoarthritis is pain, which occurs slowly. Sometimes it can also occur suddenly. The joints show stiffness and swelling, with limited flexion and extension of the joints. The pain is worse in the morning and is accompanied by morning stiffness. The pain tends to worsen after walking long distances, climbing stairs and squatting. Patients often complain of coldness in the joints. The pain may also cause the patient to feel joint weakness and muscle atrophy. The level of pain is related to weather changes.

The knee joint consists of the distal femur, the proximal tibia and the patella. Of these, the patella and femoral trochanter form the patellofemoral joint, and the medial and lateral femoral condyles and the medial and lateral tibial condyles form the medial and lateral tibiofemoral joints, respectively. In terms of joint classification, the knee is a synovial joint. Problems with any of these parts can lead to knee pain

Treatment for arthritis of the knee?

Knee joint cavity injection: the most common and currently the most widely used clinical treatment method, accepted by the majority of doctors and patients.

In general, when injecting the patient sitting position, bending the knee 45 ° - 75 °, to determine the infrapatellar outer and medial edge of the depression, with a puncture needle in the depression 2-3 cm, suction without blood, injection of gas without resistance, and then injected into the relevant therapeutic drugs, the majority of patients can significantly relieve pain.

Some people believe that knee pain is the joint inside the long bone spurs, only repeated squatting to grind off the bone spurs, in order to solve the problem, the result is not only did not cure the disease, but also make the joint pain more and more powerful. The correct method is to exercise without weight bearing or less weight bearing, especially to strengthen the quadriceps muscle exercise.

Swimming is the best exercise for the knee joints. Because the human body and the ground is basically parallel to the swimming, floating state of each joint is very relaxed, is in the case of non-weight-bearing joints, muscle activity, and cardiorespiratory function to improve the benefits.

Knee arthritis is a kind of slow onset, and in the knee joint activities will aggravate the pain, activity is limited, some people walking a crutch, but also some joints when moving with a ringing sound, some with swelling, this disease is generally for the middle-aged and older people, if not treated in time will cause deformity of the joints crippled. For the cause and course of knee arthritis, there are different treatment methods, generally common treatment is as follows:

1, the early stage of osteoarthritis: is the main drug treatment, can with moderate physical exercise;

2、In the middle stage of osteoarthritis: generally take bone joint cleaning, meniscus repair and other treatments;

3、If osteoarthritis is advanced: it is recommended to take artificial joint replacement, at present, artificial joint replacement has better treatment effect.
