What Is Knee Arthritis?

Knee arthritis occurs when the cartilage covering the knee joint gradually wears away, leading to pain, stiffness, and restricted movement.

Common causes include:

• Age-related wear and tear (osteoarthritis)

• Obesity and altered knee mechanics

• Previous knee injury or surgery

• Genetic factors

• Inflammatory joint conditions

Symptoms of Knee Arthritis

Patients with knee arthritis may experience:

• Persistent knee pain during walking or standing

• Stiffness after rest or in the morning

• Swelling around the knee joint

• Difficulty climbing stairs or getting up from a chair

• Progressive bowing or deformity of the knee

• Reduced walking distance and endurance

Symptoms usually worsen gradually over time.

Evaluation of Knee Arthritis

Knee arthritis is evaluated using:

• Detailed clinical examination

• X-rays to assess joint space narrowing and deformity

• MRI in selected cases

• Assessment of pain severity and functional limitation

Treatment decisions are based on symptoms and function, not imaging alone.

Non-Surgical Treatment Options for Knee Arthritis

Early and moderate knee arthritis can often be managed without surgery.

Non-surgical options may include:

• Activity modification

• Weight management

• Physiotherapy and muscle strengthening

• Medications for pain and inflammation

• Knee injections in selected patients

These treatments aim to reduce pain, improve function, and delay progression of arthritis.

Injection Treatments for Knee Arthritis

Injection-based treatments, including GFC therapy, may be considered in selected patients with early or moderate knee arthritis.

Important points:

• Injections do not reverse advanced arthritis

• Benefits are symptom-relieving, not curative

• Results vary between patients

Clear discussion about expected benefit, duration of relief, and limitations is essential before proceeding.

When Is Knee Replacement Considered for Knee Arthritis?

Knee replacement surgery may be recommended when:

• Knee pain persists despite adequate non-surgical treatment

• Daily activities such as walking and stair climbing become difficult

• Knee deformity progresses

• Quality of life is significantly affected

Knee replacement is advised only when it offers reliable pain relief and functional improvement.
