Patello-femoral arthrosis
A full range of orthopedic services, from diagnosis to full recovery
Patellofemoral arthrosis is a chronic progressive disease that affects the patellar-femoral joint.It is characterized by damage to the articular cartilage with subsequent changes in the bone.This type of osteoarthritis is typical for young patients, it can manifest itself even at the age of 16.Women get sick twice as often as men.
SYMPTOMS OF PATELLOFEMORAL ARTHROSIS
Conservative treatment: injections of platelet-rich plasma, hyaluronic acid, bone marrow aspirate, and chondroprotectors into the joint.
Surgical treatment: knee arthroscopy
Our Medical Center uses "minimally invasive" surgical techniques. These are low-trauma operations that do not require large incisions, as with a normal surgical intervention. Local mini-punctures are performed in the joint area up to 1 cm in size, which makes it possible to injure the patient less and significantly reduce the period of stay in the hospital.
Among such minimally invasive methods, arthroscopic debridement of the joint occupies a special place. The essence of the method is to "clean" the joint under arthroscopic control. After a few punctures, the destroyed parts of the articular cartilage are removed from the joint, and the edges of the healthy cartilage (on the border with the damaged one) are stabilized so that the cartilage is not damaged further. Then the bone is processed in such a way that new cartilage is formed. Also, with limited defects, it is possible to make special "patches" on the cartilage with a special liquid (Chondrofiller liquid) for the most complete restoration of the cartilage.
Physical therapy
One of the main methods of treatment of patellofemoral osteoarthritis is physical therapy. With the help of special exercises, it is possible to compensate for the irregular shape of the joint, strengthen the muscles and remove the load from the joint.
