Is knee surgery a thing of the past?

The injury is followed by surgery and a long recovery. However, is surgery really necessary?

Every orthopedic means it's absolutely. But now a study has been shown that may completely change the treatment of this injury.

Strengthening the knee's key involves keeping the knee damaged at a 90 - degree angle for a month so that the torn ends of the ligament are near, which affects better recovery, transmits Telegrafi.

All the time, there was physical therapy, which involved contracting thigh muscles to prevent its atrophy. Every few weeks the angle grew so that after 12 weeks, the knee would be released - the orthosis in that position.

The results were fascinating. After three months, 90% of those treated had recovered to some extent. Generally, the break of cross - aerial ligament can be estimated on a scale of 0 to 3, where value 0 indicates a completely broken ligament, while value 3 indicates an almost intact ligament.

Of the 90% of the patients who have improved, half of them have a grade one, which means that the league is beginning to heal, 40% have a score of 2, which means an advanced recovery process, while in 10% of them, ligament is completely overloaded. And this one they saw without any surgical surgery, which always, especially in the case of knee key, carries a big risk.

An interesting experience is the experience of a student who, playing hockey, ripped up the cross - knee ligaments on one knee, where the operation, the reconstruction of the cross - cross - law (ligamentoplastica), took place five years ago. Her feeling is that the 95% league has recovered. Then, 13 months ago, it tore the cross - front ligaments into the other knee, but dealt with a new therapeutic procedure that does not involve surgery.

After 13 months of healing, she considers the other knee almost entirely healed. In other words, the knee that has not been operated is in better condition than the one who has been operated and who is in shorter times.

Even before, doctors have ever witnessed the spontaneous healing of this wickedness. So we've long known that it has a blood supply, so it could be expected that it will have the ability to regenerate to a degree. Of course, orthopedics raised their voices against changing the treatment of a cross - handed league. They still believe that surgery is the only correct solution.

To answer that question, of course, new studies are needed. One of those attending 140 people were operated, and some were treated with a new protocol and then monitored for two years.

Scientists concluded that there is a slight advantage of the new method of treatment compared with the results achieved in surgery. For this reason, they recommended that middle - aged persons who have had degenerative fatigues of anaerial corruption and where no sign of arse be applied to a new method of treatment - avoid surgery.

Time will tell whether the operations of the vicious cross-crossed advance after his break will remain the past. Much more studies and tracking of patients for a final opinion will be needed. But the first results show that we are on the right track to make the operation a thing of the past. /Telegraphy/
