Understanding Knee Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is a condition where the cartilage in the knee joint wears down, causing the bones to rub against each other. This results in pain, swelling, inflammation, and joint stiffness, which worsens over time.

Common Symptoms of Knee Osteoarthritis

• Knee pain, the most common symptom, usually occurs at the front or sides of the knee and may worsen during activities such as stair climbing or sitting and standing.
• Swelling in the knee, especially after use.
• Stiffness or limited movement in the knee joint.
• Clicking or popping sounds when moving the knee.
• Thigh muscles may weaken due to limited knee movement.

The causes of knee osteoarthritis can include aging, obesity, family history of the condition, or occupations involving heavy use of the knees. Initial treatment includes pain relievers, anti-inflammatory medications, or physical therapy. In more severe cases, arthroscopic surgery may be required to restore knee function.

Robotic-Assisted 3D-Guided Arthroscopic Knee Surgery

Synphaet Hospital Lam Luk Ka has introduced innovative technology for treating complex knee osteoarthritis cases with enhanced efficiency using a 3D-Guided Arthroscopic Surgery System. This system enables surgeons to see clear 3D images of the knee joint, ensuring more precise and safer procedures.

Steps in 3D-Guided Arthroscopic Knee Surgery

The surgery typically takes 1-2 hours under local anesthesia or general anesthesia. The surgeon makes 3-4 small incisions around the knee to insert a small camera and specialized instruments. Using 3D glasses connected to a display system, the surgeon can visualize the knee joint clearly, allowing for precise planning and execution of the surgery.

Additionally, the 3D-Guided system can be used for complex spine or cervical surgeries, enhancing accuracy and safety with minimal incision size and discomfort.
