ผ่าตัดข้อเข่าเทียม ไม่ใช่เรื่องน่ากลัวอีกต่อไป

<h4><span style="color: #00826a;">“Knee replacement surgery, knee surgery, isn’t it scary! You can say that because you’re not the one having the surgery…”</span></h4>
<p>It is believed that most people who are deciding to undergo knee replacement surgery often think this way, which is not unusual. Because when it comes to surgery, everyone is afraid. However, if you truly know every detail from an expert doctor with extensive experience in knee replacement surgery, your perspective and decision will change. That’s because you have understanding and correct knowledge. The willingness to endure pain from your current condition will come to an end.</p>

<h4><span style="color: #00826a;">Opening the world of… knee replacement surgery… all aspects (that you want to know)</span></h4>
<p>Osteoarthritic knee disease occurs due to the degeneration of the knee articular cartilage caused by aging (commonly found in people over 55 years old). When the cells in the body deteriorate, the cartilage cells also degenerate. Especially if there is heavy use or excessive load, such as being overweight or playing high-impact sports, the knee cartilage will deteriorate faster. Symptoms of osteoarthritis vary, but common ones include knee pain without warmth, stiffness in the morning, creaking sounds, knee deformity, and sometimes associated conditions that cause osteoarthritis such as obesity, previous injuries, or frequent episodes of joint inflammation.</p>
<h4></h4>
<h4><span style="color: #00826a;">Treatment approaches for osteoarthritis of the knee</span></h4>
<p>Currently, treatment can be divided into two main groups:</p>
<ul>
<li>Conservative treatment is usually the initial approach, including muscle exercises, weight loss, medication, injections, and PRP injections, which involve spinning blood and injecting it back into the knee joint. This treatment has medical evidence showing it can help relieve pain long-term in patients with severe osteoarthritis.</li>
<li>Surgical treatment includes various methods such as arthroscopic surgery, osteotomy around the knee, partial knee replacement, total knee replacement, partial replacement assisted by robotic arms, or simultaneous bilateral knee replacement in one surgery.</li>
</ul>
<h4></h4>
<h4><span style="color: #00826a;">Battling to overcome knee degeneration</span></h4>
<p>When conservative treatment cannot relieve your pain or your leg deformity worsens, surgery becomes the next option. However, patients must not have contraindications for surgery such as infections, muscle weakness, or neurological disorders controlling body functions, which…</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Which type of surgery is suitable will be decided by the doctor. What helps reduce patient anxiety is that surgical techniques have continuously developed to minimize injury, speed up recovery, use smaller incisions, and employ modern, internationally standardized technology. For example, arthroscopic surgery reduces incision size, and personalized surgical planning tools and robotic-assisted surgery controlled by doctors are used.</p>
