Chronic Knee Pain: Comprehensive Treatment for Lasting Relief

Chronic knee pain, often caused by conditions like osteoarthritis, can significantly impact daily life. In cases of osteoarthritis, a progressive breakdown of knee joint cartilage, inflammation, stiffness, and persistent discomfort can begin to overrule one’s quality of life. Prior damage, ligament injuries, or rheumatoid arthritis can also lead to chronic knee pain.

For those who find little relief from conventional treatments, advanced surgical options can offer hope. The surgical experts at the Institute for Advanced Reconstruction specialize in personalized, cutting-edge care to help patients regain mobility and improve their quality of life.

• Arthroscopy: Arthroscopy is a widely used technique that involves the insertion of a small camera and surgical instruments into the knee joint through tiny incisions. It is often employed to diagnose and treat conditions such as meniscus tears, cartilage damage, ligament injuries, and loose bodies in the joint. 
• Genicular Nerve Blocks: Genicular nerve blocks involve injecting an anesthetic and/or steroid into the nerves surrounding the knee joint. While typically diagnostic, they can be combined with radiofrequency ablation for longer-lasting relief from pain caused by osteoarthritis or other chronic conditions.
• Partial Knee Replacement (Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty): For patients with damage confined to a specific part of the knee, partial knee replacement offers a less invasive alternative to total knee replacement. 
• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections: Often used in conjunction with minimally invasive techniques, PRP therapy involves injecting a concentration of the patient's own platelets to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain in the knee joint.
• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): RFA is a procedure that uses heat generated by radiofrequency energy to target and disable specific sensory nerves responsible for knee pain. It is often recommended for patients with osteoarthritis or those who are not candidates for major surgery.

At the Institute, we take a comprehensive, patient-centered approach to treating chronic knee pain. Our multidisciplinary care team includes orthopedic surgeons, pain management specialists, physical therapists, and diagnostic experts who collaborate to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs and goals.

We utilize advanced imaging and diagnostic tools to gain a precise understanding of the underlying causes of knee pain. This ensures an accurate diagnosis and guides the selection of the most effective treatment options, ranging from non-surgical therapies to cutting-edge minimally invasive procedures.

As a global leader in advanced reconstructive procedures, we are committed to revolutionizing care for chronic knee pain by combining innovation with compassion. As such, our approach prioritizes both physical relief and emotional well-being.

Our patient-centered philosophy also means your comfort and needs are at the core of everything we do. From your first consultation through recovery, we provide empathetic support and transparent communication every step of the way.

Finally, we believe in the power of personalized care. Each patient receives a tailored treatment plan designed to address their unique condition, lifestyle, and goals.
