Knee surgery options
Common Questions and Answers about Knee surgery options
knee
When I worked for an Orthopedic group of doctors in the late 90's synvisc was fairly new to them. It's a series of three injections given.
Is someone willing to comment on their experience with the MAKI partial knee replacement surgery? I'm having knee pain a year following partial medial meniscus surgery a year ago & looking at all options. My knee soreness has never really gone away. I'm a 58 yr old runner who used to be very active and am very frustrated with my treatment so far. My Ortho is suggesting Synvisc injections, but I'm looking for a more durable outcome. Thanks!
I went to four weeks of therapy and it has done nothing I am going to have to get surgery to remove the piece of knee cap. I was just wondering how long it takes to heal from this. How long will I be laid up? How many weeks of therapy am I going to have to go through after the surgery? Will I have to miss much school? Will I be able to run this fall??????
My hubby had one, he had it drained a few times but it kept coming back. He ended up having knee surgery and it was discovered that it was the fluid in the knee leaking out into a pocket and it was gone once he had the surgery. I'm not saying you need surgery but it wouldn't hurt to get it checked out by an ortho just to make sure there's no injuries going on in there. Good luck to you.
On the 1st of March 2016 I went for an MRI scan and when the scans where done the doctor said I have a torn ACL on my right knee that I must undergo surgery on the 6th of April. Then I recently found out that am 5weeks pregnancy. My worry is will the ACL reconstruction surgery be done or will it be postponed till I give birth, and won't it be damaged futher because of pregnancy weight my right knee has to carry. What are the dangers of the MRI can I did and the surgery?
I had total knee replacement in April of 2007 and continue to have a nagging pain in the knee area as well as it stays slightly swollen all the time. The pain is a burning and stinging sensation and is made worse when I try to walk any length of time. Therefore, I don't get much exercise. The pain subsides with rest at night but when arisinig in the morning it's back and still swollen. Due to the swelling the knee doesn't bend as far as it should.
I am on a anti inflammatory to reduce inflammation which has taken away a great deal of my pain but my only options are a shot in the knee for pain relief and surgery and physical therapy for my patellar which are also not in place. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated for a longer term fix.
Confirm whatever the radiologist has told near a neurologist and go for conservative treatment near a neurologist. If it does not help then visit a neurosurgeon for the surgery. Remember the brain and spinal cord are in a place where a small lesion may cause gross symptoms. Take care and take some symptomatic relief in pain killers.
Doc suggested me to go through the surgery to cut the tear. My knee pain is not so severe. I am able to walk with no issues but some uncomfort in the knee sometimes.
My worry is Do I really need to go through surgery given my situation. Please please advice. I really appreciate your guidance here.
Thank you.
I had a knee replacement 5 months ago and I am allergic to nickel. Now this knee needs to be taken out and replaced! Is the Oxinium knee nickel free? I am very sick from this and need help quick!

While mild-moderate cases are best managed with conservative therapy; surgery is reserved for severe ones. Surgery is quite successful, while the long term effects are similar to a meniscal repair. It would be best to discuss the management plan in detail with her treating orthopedician after a definite diagnosis is made.
Hope this is helpful.
Take care!
I recently had an MRI of my knee and lower back.. However I don't know what the diagnosis means. If any one can answer it would be greatly appreciated.. My knee diagnosis is"there is a deep fissuring in the central patellar cartilage that is full thickness.. There is underlying reactive change in the patella..." My back diagnosis is "at L5 S1 there is a mild diffuse disc buldge without central or forminal stenosis..
Last year I got septic arthritis in my left knee. Had 10 bouts of surgery on my knee to washout the knee. I still get alot of pain in my knee.
I had had a recent MRI which no one can explain to me satisfactorely. Hope you can be of help.
The MRI states:
"Severe degeneration of the medial and lateral menisci noted with fraying of the articular surface and inner free edge of the menisci. No ligament injury is seen.
my doctor told me that my cartilage under my knee is damaged serverly. I was in a car accident where my knee hit the dash board. (60MPH impact). Is there any surgery for this repair? He suggested physical therapy. Ive read that physical therapy in alot of cases doesnt work. I live in NY Long Island. Does anyone know any specialist.
