The most common, age-related illness causes the knee joints to wear and tear. It usually occurs to people more than 50 years of age when the cartilage that cushions the joint bones wears off and the bones soften, making bone attrition easier and faster with symptoms such as pain, stiffness and swelling.
Autoimmune inflammatory arthritis inflames and thickens the synovial membrane that surrounds the joints. This, in turn, damages the cartilage and underlying bone which now causes pain, stiffness, swelling, and deformation.
It is caused by severe injury to the knee. Fractures and tears of the ligament can harm the cartilage which causes pain in the knee and restrict movement.
It is a form of arthritis that affects some people who have psoriasis (A disease of red patches of skin covered with silver scales). Most people develop psoriasis first and are later diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, but sometimes joint problems can begin before skin patches.
Total Knee replacement is regarded as the best arthritis treatment when all other conservative medications have failed to relieve knee pain.
The uni-compartmental knee is an option for a small percentage of people with knee joint osteoarthritis. Only the damaged compartment is replaced by metal and Teflon in a uni-compartmental knee replacement.
High flexion knee or full bending knee replacement enables bending to 155 degrees and is a blessing for patients after knee replacement seeking enhanced function.
