Knee – Pain & Stiffness
Knee pain and stiffness can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life. Dr. Yugal Varandani offers comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for various conditions causing knee pain and stiffness in Bhopal.
Treatment & Care Details
Patello Femoral Pain Syndrome
Treatment DetailsPatellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) causes pain around the front of the knee and kneecap. It is common in athletes, runners, and active individuals. Treatment includes physiotherapy, strengthening exercises, patellar taping, and in resistant cases, arthroscopic lateral release or MPFL reconstruction.
Arthro Fibrosis (Knee Stiffness)
Treatment DetailsArthrofibrosis is a condition where excessive scar tissue forms in the knee joint, restricting movement and causing stiffness. It can occur after surgery, trauma, or prolonged immobilization. Treatment includes aggressive physiotherapy, manipulation under anesthesia, or arthroscopic lysis of adhesions.
Fat Pad Impingement
Treatment DetailsThe infrapatellar fat pad (Hoffa's fat pad) can become inflamed and impinged between the femur and tibia, causing anterior knee pain. Symptoms worsen with extension. Treatment ranges from physiotherapy and injection therapy to arthroscopic resection of the impinging fat pad.
Neuritic Pain (Neuralgia)
Treatment DetailsNeuritic pain around the knee can result from nerve irritation or damage, often following surgery or injury. It presents as burning, shooting, or tingling pain. Treatment includes medications targeting nerve pain, nerve blocks, physiotherapy, and in some cases surgical neurolysis.
Loose Bodies
Treatment DetailsLoose bodies are fragments of cartilage or bone floating within the knee joint. They cause intermittent locking, catching, swelling, and pain. Arthroscopic removal of loose bodies provides immediate relief and prevents further damage to the joint surfaces.
