What to do if your kneecap is badly worn

The wear and tear of the kneecap is very serious, and is considered to be related to degenerative joint disease of the knee, which requires a choice of treatment options, such as medication, physical factor therapy, or surgical treatment, depending on the symptoms produced.
Knee bone wear occurs with age as a result of regular weight bearing and exertion. If the wear and tear is severe and the knee joint is already painful, but it does not affect the function of walking, you can consider taking medication that nourishes the joint cartilage, such as chondroitin sulfate, and at the same time, you can combine with ultrashort wave and magnetic heat therapy to alleviate the symptoms.
Some patients with severe knee bone wear are prone to have significant limitation of knee joint movement and inability to walk with weight bearing. They need to consider surgical treatment, such as knee replacement surgery, which utilizes artificial materials to replace the completely worn out tissues, rebuild the structure of the knee, and restore the local function.
The specific treatment of knee bone wear needs to be carried out under the guidance of professional physicians, and pay attention to maintenance in daily life, such as controlling weight, reducing the load on the knee joint, and not overloading and straining. The above drugs should be used according to the doctor’s prescription.
