Knee and osteoarthritis

Wear and tear of the knee joint is one of the most common forms of osteoarthritis. Mild to severe pain as well as restricted movement are the possible consequences and can cause a pronounced deterioration in the quality of life.

In a conversation with Dr. med. Matthias Schmied you will learn which treatment options are possible.

Mild or incipient osteoarthritis can often be addressed with non-surgical therapies. Choices include physiotherapeutic measures, activity adaptation, medication, shoe inserts, cortisone injections into the knee joint.

The latest methods for treating knee osteoarthritis also include the injection of the patient's own blood (ACP; autologous conditioned plasma). Knee arthroscopy, as a minimally invasive therapy, can also be useful here depending on the problem.

When the disease is advanced, conservative or arthroscopic therapies usually no longer help. In such cases, the artificial knee joint can be a grateful alternative.

In our clinic, the latest surgical methods are combined with tried and tested implants to give you the best possible result.
