What is the difference between Arthroscopy and Arthroplasty?

 

Arthroscopy is a minimal-invasive procedure involving a tiny incision to allow the insertion of a state-of-the-art scope to look into your affected joint. The scope has a camera on end to transmit images to a monitor for surgeons to view. The second incision allows orthopedic surgeons to insert small instruments to assess, diagnose and even treat issues with joints immediately. Arthroscopy can be performed on joints including knees, hips, shoulders, ankles, elbows, and wrists.

On the other hand, Arthroplasty is more commonly known as joint replacement surgery. It is a major open surgery in which the degenerative joints are replaced with an artificial joint. The surgery aims to relieve joint pain and increase the range of movement, thereby helping to improve mobility.

Consult Dr. Biren Nadkarni, a Senior Orthopedic Consultant, and Surgeon, to know more about the options you can opt to relieve the pain. He will be available in person at his clinic - Joint & Bone Solutions situated at Hauz Khas, New Delhi. Dr. Biren can also be reached at Sitaram Bhartia Institute and Holy Family Hospital also.

Locking in the Knee - What does that Mean?

 

The locked knee is a term used when a person is not capable to bend or straighten their knee. There are two types of the locked knee — true and pseudo. In True locked knee, the knee joint gets locked in one position and is unable to move at all. Whereas in Pseudo locked knee, a person's knee is physically capable to move, but the body discourages knee movement due to severe pain and swelling.

Causes of true locked knee include:

• Meniscal tear

• Loose bodies in the knee

• Patella dislocation

• Knee joint inflammation

Causes of the pseudo-locked knee include:

• pain from a knee injury

• inflammation from injury or degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis)

• inflammation of the knee joint tissue - plica syndrome

• patellar maltracking, where the kneecap does not move correctly

If you are experiencing a locked knee, you should see an Orthopedic Surgeon such as Dr. Biren Nadkarni as soon as possible for a proper diagnosis and treatment. He will be available in person at his clinic - Joint & Bone Solutions situated at Hauz Khas, New Delhi as well as through online consultation. He can be reached at Sitaram Bhartia Institute and Holy Family Hospital also.
