Introduction
Knee injury treatment varies by type and severity. It may include RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation), physical therapy for mobility and strength, bracing or splinting for support, and pain management with medications. Severe injuries might require arthroscopic surgery to repair torn ligaments or menisci, or a total knee replacement for significant damage.
Advanced Technologies
In recent years, significant progress has been made in knee joint repair technologies in China. Technological advancements are the key driving force behind the development of this field, particularly in artificial joint replacement surgeries, where China has established a mature technical system. The application of digital technologies, such as 3D printing, computer navigation, and robotic-assisted surgery, has not only improved surgical precision and safety but also driven the development of personalized medicine, marking a transformation from traditional manual operations to intelligent medical models.
Knee joint ankylosis is a common post-traumatic complication, affecting up to 9% of patients and severely impacting their daily lives and work. Traditional open release surgeries are highly invasive, with many complications and poor efficacy. Chinese teams have pioneered special surgical approaches and release procedures, achieving highly effective release of severe knee ankylosis under minimally invasive conditions. This technique, which solves major problems with small incisions, has been included in international monographs as a guideline.
Experienced Doctors
The number of knee-preserving surgeries in China has increased from about 2,000 cases a decade ago to over 80,000 cases annually, and it is expected to exceed 100,000 cases by 2024. Knee-preserving surgeries are minimally invasive and personalized, with osteotomy and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty being the primary surgical methods. Compared to traditional knee replacement surgeries, knee-preserving surgeries cause less trauma to patients, address postoperative pain and joint stiffness issues associated with knee replacements, and maximize the preservation of the patient’s natural knee function, leading to faster recovery and lower treatment costs.
