Knee & Ankle Injuries

Knee and ankle injuries from an accident can seriously impact mobility and quality of life. Effective treatment of knee and ankle injuries often requires a comprehensive approach tailored to the patient’s specific needs and circumstances. By combining conservative therapies, rehabilitative strategies, and surgical procedures, healthcare providers can help accident victims make the best recovery possible from knee and ankle injuries.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy can play a crucial role in recovering from a knee or ankle injury. Licensed therapists create personalized exercise programs to strengthen muscles around the knee or ankle joint, improve flexibility, and enhance mobility. Using specific exercises and manual techniques, physical therapy can alleviate pain, restore function, and prevent future injuries.

Medications

Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), can help manage pain and inflammation associated with knee and ankle injuries. Sometimes, corticosteroid injections are recommended to reduce inflammation and alleviate severe pain caused by knee and ankle injuries.

Regenerative Medicine

Cutting-edge medical techniques such as platelet-rich plasma injections often provide significant pain relief and stimulate tissue repair for knee and ankle injuries. Regenerative medical techniques aim to harness the body’s natural healing mechanisms to accelerate recovery and improve outcomes.

Surgery

Surgical intervention may be necessary for severe knee and ankle injuries. Common surgical procedures for knee injuries include arthroscopic surgery for meniscal tears, ligament reconstruction for ACL injuries, and knee replacement for severe structural problems. Common procedures for ankle injuries include fracture fixation, ligament repair or reconstruction, and ankle arthroscopy to address intra-articular pathology.
