Advancements in Arthroscopic Techniques for Joint Preservation
Arthroscopy has revolutionised joint preservation techniques, allowing surgeons to perform minimally invasive procedures with greater precision and less trauma to surrounding tissues. This article explores the advancements in arthroscopic surgery, such as rotator cuff repair, meniscal repair and transplantation, cartilage restoration, ligament reconstruction, and joint preservation in early arthritis.

This article explores the advancements in arthroscopic surgery, such as rotator cuff repair, meniscal repair and transplantation, cartilage restoration, ligament reconstruction, and joint preservation in early arthritis. These advanced techniques result in reduced surgical trauma, increased precision and safety, faster rehabilitation, and improved long-term outcomes. As arthroscopic techniques continue to evolve, they offer hope for improved quality of life and extended joint health for patients with joint injuries and early arthritis.

Understanding Plica Syndrome: Causes, Diagnosis, and Early Management
Plica syndrome is a common knee condition caused by irritation or inflammation of synovial plicae, folds in the knee joint lining. It often affects active individuals, especially runners and cyclists, leading to symptoms like medial knee pain, clicking, and swelling. Early diagnosis through clinical evaluation and imaging is crucial asPlica syndrome is a common knee condition caused by irritation or inflammation of synovial plicae, folds in the knee joint lining. It often affects active individuals, especially runners and cyclists, leading to symptoms like medial knee pain, clicking, and swelling. Early diagnosis through clinical evaluation and imaging is crucial as symptoms can mimic other knee injuries. Initial treatment involves activity modification, anti-inflammatory measures, and physiotherapy, with surgery reserved for persistent cases. Preventive strategies include strengthening exercises, proper warm-up, and suitable footwear to reduce recurrence risk. Recognizing symptoms early and seeking prompt medical advice ensures optimal knee function and recovery.
