In an upright position, the maximum body weight falls on the knee joint, so it is most susceptible to injuries and diseases. Knee arthrosis (gonarthrosis) — is the most common joint pathology, which occurs in 10% of young and middle-aged people, and after 60 years, problems develop in every third person.
Causes of Joint Pathology
German orthopedic traumatologists provide comprehensive medical care for gonarthrosis, arthritis, bursitis and tendinitis, injuries to the cartilage and ligamentous apparatus of the knee joint.
When diagnosing the problem at an early stage, doctors manage without surgical intervention. Drug therapy with chondroprotectors, steroid hormones, drugs that replace natural synovial fluid is used. In Germany, intra-articular administration of certified and safe compounds based on hyaluronic acid is practiced — ViscoPlus, Synocrom, Hyalrepair, Ostenil, as well as synthetic viscoprosthesis Noltrex.
Artificial synovial fluid substitutes eliminate friction of knee cartilage surfaces, provide cushioning
effect, relieve pain and inflammation. They are completely biocompatible and do not cause allergic reactions. This method allows restoring range of motion, giving the patient the opportunity for a full and active life.
An important component of treatment — is physiotherapy, which is used to accelerate rehabilitation and enhance the effect of medications. Orthoses and ergonomic footwear are used in orthopedics to minimize the load on the knee joints.

In case of third-stage arthrosis, surgical intervention is indicated. The main method — is partial or total joint replacement to restore mobility. German orthopedists individually select prostheses based on MRI diagnostic data. Structures from leading world manufacturers with a service life of 15-20 years are used for joint replacement.
New techniques for joint replacement in Germany exclude muscle dissection: access is performed by spreading tissues, so there is no damage to vessels and nerves. A small incision of 3.5 cm allows making blood loss minimal, tissues recover quickly after surgery.
In addition to joint replacement, arthrodesis, arthrorise, arthrotomy are used. Surgical methods are also used for cruciate ligament rupture, old and improperly healed fractures, curvature of the shin bones and associated impaired knee biomechanics.
As an alternative to classical surgical interventions for knee joint treatment in Germany, arthroscopic technologies are used:
For knee treatment in Germany, the regenerative medicine method MIBRAR is used — introduction of autoconcentrate for regenerative joint reconstruction. The technique is based on the body's ability to independently restore damaged tissues. Its feature — is natural regeneration and elimination of the root cause of pathology, so MIBRAR completely relieves a person from the disease, not just eliminates the symptoms.
The minimally invasive intervention is performed under the control of arthroscopic or arthrosonographic equipment. General anesthesia is not used during the procedure. MIBRAR is performed without incisions and has no side effects.
