Gonarthrosis, a common knee osteoarthritis, often follows injuries or deformities. Advanced cases may require surgical joint replacement for treatment.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Rheumatology
- Medical Science
Background:
- Gonarthrosis is the most prevalent form of limb osteoarthritis.
- It is frequently associated with knee injuries or congenital/acquired knee deformities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To summarize the common causes and treatment options for gonarthrosis.
- To highlight surgical interventions for advanced stages of the condition.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of gonarthrosis etiology and management.
- Analysis of treatment modalities for osteoarthritis of the knee.
Main Results:
- Gonarthrosis commonly results from knee trauma or deformities.
- Non-surgical and surgical options exist for gonarthrosis management.
Conclusions:
- Early diagnosis and management of knee injuries can potentially prevent gonarthrosis.
- Total or partial knee replacement remains a viable option for end-stage gonarthrosis.
