If it floats between cartilage surfaces, it causes joint closure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As a result, knee movement will be restricted (will not be able to bend or strech).

procedure to be followed is to remove all loose bodies by arthroscopy, more commonly known as \u201ccleansing\u201d arthroscopy. This minimally invasive procedure allows the surgeon to thoroughly examine the loose bodies in the knee and allows cartilage injuries to be assessed and the disease to be treated.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Arthroscopic knee cartilage shaver procedure<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This general treatment is used in case of patients whose cartilage defect has not worn down to the bone. The surgeon inserts a pencil-thin arthroscope into the knee through a small incision, shavers and smooths the fragmented or worn cartilage. Ideally, smoothing and using shavers on the damaged cartilage will help reduce friction and irritation, thus reducing the symptoms of swelling, murmur and pain.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Arthroscopic lateral release of the patella<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the process, an incision is made in the lateral stabilizing structure of the patella, in particular in the lateral retinaculum. The lateral reticulum connects the lateral kneecap to the external protrusion of the femur, the iliotibial ligament, and the anterior-lateral part of the tibia. Arthroscopic lateral release is usually performed in combination with medial-based stabilization procedures, allowing more efficient medial adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid shape_divider_top-none shape_divider_bottom-none\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2 style=\"color: #0e1b8d;text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading\" >What are the advantages and risks of surgery?<\/h2>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Knee arthroscopy is a safe procedure for treating knee injuries and is minimally invasive. The advantage of arthroscopy over traditional open surgery is that there is no need to fully open the joint. Only two, sometimes three small incisions are made &#8211; one for the arthroscope and one for the surgical instruments to be used in the knee cavity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This reduces healing time and can increase the success rate of surgery due to less trauma to the connective tissues. In case of most people, the procedure only takes an hour or two. The scarring is also smaller due to smaller incisions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Arthroscopic knee surgery is an effective tool in diagnosing joint diseases and strengthening the treatment of knee problems such as meniscus tear and cartilage wear.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/artroszkopos-terdmutet-terdmutet-terdartroszkopia-ortoped-mutet-ortopediai-mutet-medicare-magankorhaz-ortopedia-artroszkopia-1024x683-1.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"Artroszkopos t\u00e9rdm\u0171t\u00e9t\" srcset=\"https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/artroszkopos-terdmutet-terdmutet-terdartroszkopia-ortoped-mutet-ortopediai-mutet-medicare-magankorhaz-ortopedia-artroszkopia-1024x683-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/artroszkopos-terdmutet-terdmutet-terdartroszkopia-ortoped-mutet-ortopediai-mutet-medicare-magankorhaz-ortopedia-artroszkopia-1024x683-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/artroszkopos-terdmutet-terdmutet-terdartroszkopia-ortoped-mutet-ortopediai-mutet-medicare-magankorhaz-ortopedia-artroszkopia-1024x683-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/artroszkopos-terdmutet-terdmutet-terdartroszkopia-ortoped-mutet-ortopediai-mutet-medicare-magankorhaz-ortopedia-artroszkopia-1024x683-1-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/artroszkopos-terdmutet-terdmutet-terdartroszkopia-ortoped-mutet-ortopediai-mutet-medicare-magankorhaz-ortopedia-artroszkopia-1024x683-1-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/artroszkopos-terdmutet-terdmutet-terdartroszkopia-ortoped-mutet-ortopediai-mutet-medicare-magankorhaz-ortopedia-artroszkopia-1024x683-1-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/artroszkopos-terdmutet-terdmutet-terdartroszkopia-ortoped-mutet-ortopediai-mutet-medicare-magankorhaz-ortopedia-artroszkopia-1024x683-1-410x273.jpg 410w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid shape_divider_top-none shape_divider_bottom-none\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Arthroscopy can ultimately relieve knee pain and improve mobility.

As part of general anesthesia, this method is suitable for prolonged pain relief during and after surgery, which means less need for painkillers in the immediate postoperative period. The intervention is not painful, reduces the need for medication, facilitates early mobilization, and increases the feeling of comfort.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Moreover, in some cases, it may even be suitable for performing the surgery on its own, without any other anesthetic procedure.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid shape_divider_top-none shape_divider_bottom-none\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2 style=\"color: #0e1b8d;text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading\" >What should I do after knee surgery?<\/h2>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Recovery from knee arthroscopy is much faster than from conventional open knee surgery, yet it is important that you carefully follow the instructions of the knee specialist orthopaedic surgeon after returning home. Some algesia is a natural part of the healing process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After surgery, we often prescribe medications to quickly relieve pain. To relieve swelling and pain, your surgeon may recommend chilling. It is important to keep the incision site clean and dry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The surgeon will tell you when and how to take a shower or bath.

For a few weeks, you should exercise regularly your knees after surgery to restore movement and strengthen important muscles.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Recommended postoperative follow-up examination in case of ACL<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once you get home, put ice on your knees for 15-20 minutes per hour for the next few days, but keep the bandage dry. Ice helps reduce pain and swelling. In the first 1-2 weeks after surgery, the most important goal is to be able to fully straighten your knees again.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is much more important at first than being able to cover long distances on foot. Too much walking will cause your knee to swell and hurt, preventing you from stretching your knee. Leave the dressing up until the first postoperative follow-up examination.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Recommended postoperative follow-up examination in case of arthroscopic knee surgery<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Immediately after surgery, if pain while walking is minimal, it is not necessary to use a crutch or walker. If needed due to pain, the patient may choose to use a crutch or walker for a few days after surgery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Most patients experience the benefits of arthroscopic knee surgery within 4-6 weeks. The reduction in pain and swelling, as well as the improvement in knee strength, movement, and coordination, can last for 3-4 months after surgery.
