Managing Instability of Internal Knee Prosthesis
Instability of internal knee prosthesis refers to a condition where the implanted artificial knee joint becomes loose or unstable, resulting in pain, discomfort, and limited mobility. This condition commonly occurs as a complication following knee replacement surgery. The internal knee prosthesis may become unstable due to various factors, such as improper implant positioning, wear and tear of the artificial components, or weakening of the surrounding ligaments and muscles. Symptoms of instability may include a sensation of the knee giving way, difficulty walking or standing, and swelling around the joint. Treatment options for this condition may involve revision surgery to reposition or replace the prosthesis, physical therapy to strengthen the supporting structures, or the use of assistive devices to improve stability and mobility. Early diagnosis and prompt intervention are crucial in managing instability of internal knee prosthesis to restore comfort and functionality to the affected individual.
