Hello,
I have studied your case.
You can take
rejoint for 3 to4 months.
I will advise to do
X ray knee weight bearing and if required MRI knee can be done and if there is severe destruction of menisci then arthroscopic shaving can be done.
Physiotherapy like
ultrasound and tens will help, along with knee exercises
Mild
deformity can not be corrected with just medication,but further progression of deformity can be corrected.
Exercises will help to strengthen muscle and joint.
In lying flat supine on back – move your ankle up and down[plantar flexion dorsiflexion],keeping small towel below knee-press your patella[knee cap ] on towel and hold for 15 sec,lift your leg straight alternately [10-15 times].
Lying on your tummy- flex knee alternately, make knee rotation in flexion.
Sitting on chair- extend your legs alternately [hold in extension for 15 sec]
Standing half squat taking support of wall to back..
VISCOSUPPLEMENTATION:
Hyaluronic acid injections given into the joint (especially large joints like knee joint) in prescribed dosages will give good short term pain relief in arthritic joints ranging from 1-2 years.
Newer modalities for
cartilage injury include autologous chondrocyte implantation[ ACI] which helps in treatment of cartilage destruction.
