Loose Body

Loose Bodies Within the Knee
Sometimes, due to accidents or injuries, small fragments of cartilage or bone can break off and float freely inside the knee joint. These loose bodies can also occur as a result of arthritis.

At SV Ortho Care, our orthopedic surgeons carefully evaluate the size and position of these fragments. Depending on the situation, they may choose to either reattach the loose piece or remove it completely using arthroscopy — a minimally invasive procedure with small incisions and faster recovery.

Osteoarthritis of the Knee
As we age, the joints in our body, including the knee, experience natural wear and tear. This condition, called osteoarthritis, can cause pain, stiffness, and discomfort, making everyday activities difficult.

When medications and conservative treatments no longer relieve the symptoms, our surgeons at SV Ortho Care may perform an arthroscopic procedure. During this, they shave and smoothen the roughened bone surfaces and trim any damaged meniscus tissue. This cleaning process helps reduce pain and improves joint function.

Our specialists at SV Ortho Care will guide you through the best treatment options tailored to your needs, helping you get back to pain-free movement.
