Bone spurs in the knee usually require surgical treatment in order to be completely eradicated. Surgical methods generally include arthroscopic cleaning and knee joint surface replacement. However, in general, if the symptoms of bone spurs in the knee joint are not bad, it is only necessary to pay attention to adjusting the daily life style, strengthening exercise or cooperating with medication or physical therapy, and there is no need for complete eradication of the treatment.
1. Arthroscopic cleanup: Usually, according to the condition of bone spurs after the knee joint examination before the operation, the knee arthroscope will be used to observe the bone spurs through the eyes of the inner and outer knees, and at the same time remove the hyperplasia, so that the joints with obvious hyperplasia can be smoothed out, and the arthroscopic cleanup belongs to the minimally invasive surgery, which is a common surgical treatment method.
2. Knee Joint Surface Replacement: Knee Joint Surface Replacement is a more common surgery, this surgery refers to the installation of artificial knee joints on the end of the knee joint bone, so as to replace the broken and unusable surface of the joint, so that the joint can be restored to its normal state.
Surgery to remove bone spurs is generally not necessary if the osteoarthritis is not accompanied by symptoms such as pain or limited movement. Instead, you can reduce the weight of the knee joint and strengthen the muscles around the knee joint, such as straight leg raising training. Physical therapy and medication can also be used to relieve pain. Surgery should only be considered if conservative treatment is not effective.
When bone spurs in the knee joint are accompanied by other symptoms, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination to determine the severity of the problem and choose the appropriate treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
