Arthroscopy of the knee joint
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure for the diagnosis and treatment of injuries and diseases of the knee joint. It allows examining the joint for damage and eliminating the identified defects.
This procedure is necessary in cases of meniscus damage, cysts, ligament injuries, inflammation of the synovial membrane, cartilage damage, deforming arthrosis, rheumatoid arthritis and intraarticular fractures.
The knee joint is constantly under heavy stress, so many people wear out by the age of 45-50. Joint wear leads to chronic knee pain, and knee arthroscopy is becoming the most effective treatment method. Arthroscopy helps to reduce pain, improve joint function and improve the quality of life of patients. During the operation, the surgeon uses an arthroscope, a special device with a camera at the end. Through it, the doctor sees the joint and instruments inserted through other small punctures in multiple magnification on the screen. This allows him to accurately perform the necessary manipulations.

Through a small puncture, the doctor inserts an arthroscope to diagnose the condition of the joint. After identifying the damage, the surgeon makes the necessary number of additional punctures and, using special tools, eliminates defects in the knee joint and restores damaged structures.
An arthroscope, an instrument with a camera that can zoom in and display a detailed image of the joint. Special medical tools allow precise surgical manipulation through small punctures.
Post-arthroscopy recovery depends on the extent of the surgery performed. To speed up rehabilitation, the attending physician may recommend a physiotherapist's consultation, where you will be prescribed physiotherapy.

What is the danger of flat feet and how to treat it?
Flat feet are an orthopedic problem in which the shape of the foot changes, its longitudinal and/or transverse arch decreases. Normally, the arches of the foot are responsible for cushioning and even distribution of the load when walking and running. But with flat feet, the foot cannot spring properly, which increases the load on the bones, joints and muscles of the legs.
What should I do if my ligaments are damaged?
Ligament damage is an injury in which there is a violation of the integrity of the fibers that make up the ligaments. Ligaments connect bones to each other, stabilizing joints and preventing their excessive movement. They are made up of collagen fibers, which give them strength and elasticity. But under the external influence of the ligament, the length of the ligaments almost does not change, so the fibers can rupture. Ligaments are damaged due to excessive stretching or sudden movement exceeding their normal amplitude. This can happen if you land incorrectly after a jump, fall, abruptly change the direction of movement or a direct blow to the joint.
