PCL Tear Surgery
A PCL tear is an injury or tear of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), which connects the thigh bone (femur) to the shinbone (tibia). It can cause pain, swelling, and instability of the knee. Diagnosis is based on a physical examination, X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or arthroscopy. Treatment options depend on the severity of the injury and may involve medication or surgery.
Partial Knee Replacement Surgery
Partial knee replacement surgery is performed to replace a damaged part of the knee joint. It has a shorter recovery time than full knee replacement surgery. This procedure is recommended for people with damage to only one part of the knee joint, such as osteoarthritis. It involves removing damaged tissue and bone in the knee joint and replacing it with an artificial implant.
Knee Ligament Surgery
Knee ligament surgery is performed to repair damaged ligaments in the knee joint. The knee has four major ligaments: the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), and lateral collateral ligament (LCL). Surgery involves replacing the torn ligament with a piece of healthy tendon, either from the person or a donor.
Knee Pain Recovery
Knee pain can be caused by various factors, including disease of the knee joint or soft tissue involvement. Self-treatment options for mild knee pain include using muscle relaxant sprays or ointments, applying hot or cold compresses, avoiding strenuous activities, and taking over-the-counter pain medication. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
