Knee pain is a complaint that is often expressed by those who are middle -aged to age (elderly).Both due to osteoarthritis and other factors, knee pain can actually be handled gradually through various approaches, ranging from conservative methods to surgery, which is only recommended if the condition does not improve.
Orthopedic Specialist Consultant Hip & Knee Mayapada Hospital Surabaya, Prof.Dr.Dr.Dwikora Novembri Utomo, Sp.OT (K) states that surgery is not the first choice when the patient comes with complaints of knee pain.
“The first step we take is a comprehensive examination, ranging from physical examination, X -rays, to MRI if needed, to ensure in advance what causes the knee pain experienced by the patient,” said Prof.Dwikora.
Handling of knee pain by Prof.Dwikora is part of the main Orthopedic Center Mayapada Hospital Surabaya, which is known thanks to a careful and accurate treatment approach, ranging from initial consultations, supporting examinations, to further evaluation.
The approach is certain to always adjust the patient’s condition, as well as determining the most suitable and safe therapy.
The initial examination becomes a very important stage, because more than 70 percent of cases of mild to moderate knee pain can improve without surgery, through physical therapy, muscle strengthening exercises, lifestyle changes, or the use of anti-inflammatory drugs.
“Surgery is usually recommended if the pain has greatly disrupted daily activities and does not improve after 3 to 6 months of conservative care, or when serious damage is found such as a tear meniscus or osteoarthritis further,” said Prof.Dwikora.
If surgery is needed, Mayapada Hospital Surabaya has provided a surgical procedure using a minimum invasive approach, such as artroscopy and total Knee Replacement, which is now supported by Velys ™ Robotic-Assisted Solution technology with a high level of accuracy, smaller incisions, faster recovery, and better long-term results.
According to Prof.Dwikora, the role of physiotherapy is also crucial in the recovery process.The right rehabilitation program can help reduce pain by 50 percent in three months, to prevent the need for surgical measures in most cases.
If the knee pain begins to interfere with daily activity, do not delay to consult the hospital to prevent the condition getting worse.Mayapada Hospital Surabaya’s orthopedic center service can be a trusted choice in dealing with various problems in bones, joints, and muscles with comprehensive and international standard care, ranging from early detection, diagnosis, actions, to post-action therapy and treatment.
Hospital Director Mayapada Hospital Surabaya, dr.Bona Fernando, M.D., Fisqua said, the presence of technology and the application of the latest approaches is expected to be an effective solution for patients in East Java to East Indonesia.
