Hip Arthritis Treatment - How to Relieve Hip Pain

Here is all you need to know about hip arthritis treatment and how you can relieve hip pain. Read the article and get in touch with expert surgeon Dr. Avtar Singh.

Hip Arthritis Treatment - How to Relieve Hip Pain

One of the most common reasons why people encounter hip pain is arthritis.  It is a dynamic issue, which implies that it normally begins gradually and deteriorates with time. The term arthritis in the real sense means inflammation of the joints.

There are various sorts of arthritis that can impact your hips adversely. Therefore, the treatment also differs for different types of hip arthritis.

Different types of Arthritis

There are in total of 5 types of arthritis that may affect your hip joints. These are:

Osteoarthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis

Ankylosing spondylitis

Systemic lupus erythematosus

Psoriatic arthritis

However, Dr Avtar Singh, the best orthopaedics surgeon in Amritsar states that there is no cure for these types of arthritis, yet there are ways to treat the pain and other relevant symptoms. He is the first Punjabi orthopaedics doctor who has performed robotic knee replacement surgery in World.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis signifies "arthritis of the bone" and is the most widely recognized type of arthritis. It is regularly portrayed as the aftereffect of wear and tear of the joints, which clarifies why it is more typical older people as compared to the younger people.

The hip joint comprises of the ball like the end of the thigh bone which fits into the hip socket.  The ball-and-socket joint is lined with a smooth ligament that helps in the flexibility of the joints. In case the smooth ligament disappears, the rest of the hard surfaces of the ball and the socket grind against each other leading to pain. After some time, osteoarthritis may either decline or damage the joint permanently.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis not only affects your hip joints but the complete body. The aggravation is identified with an immune system’s reaction instead of wear and tear.

Similar to other body joints, the hip joint is completely secured with a specific capsule. This capsule exceptionally lines and is includes a joint liquid that helps in the easy movement of the joints.

This arthritis also leads to a specific swelling of the synovial lining. This further leads to pain and swelling, yet in the long run, rheumatoid can cause the decaying of the joint’s bone and ligament.

This type of arthritis can happen in individuals of all ages and is more typical in ladies than men. In contrast to osteoarthritis of the hip, which may happen just in one hip, arthritis normally happens in both the hips simultaneously (and potentially different joints). It is additionally connected to drowsiness and weakness.

Treatment For Hip Arthritis

Dr. Avtar Singh, the best hip replacement surgeon in Amritsar recommends the treatment considering the specific kind of arthritis the patient is suffering with.

Non-surgical treatments for hip arthritis include:

Anti-inflammatory medicines

Specific injections to curb the joint inflammation.

Exercises and physiotherapy to improve flexibility, develop strength, and keep up muscle tone. For example, swimming is an amazing exercise for people with hip arthritis.

Different devices such as sticks or walkers to make it simpler and more secure for you to walk.

How Does Weather Affect Arthritis and Knee Injury

We all know the weather affects the body in many different ways. Read this article to know how does weather affect arthritis and knee injury.

Have you ever felt pain in the knee injury that you have ever had in your joints with the changes in the outside weather conditions? Weather conditions are one of the common reasons to blame for arthritis and knee injury pain, and many doctors also believe that people do feel the pangs of pain during the cold or rainy season.           According to Dr Avtar Singh, one of the best robotic joint replacement surgeon states that barometric pressure or the pressure of the air can be one of the factors that impact the joints. Perhaps, other conditions such as humidity, precipitation, and temperature are also to be blamed sometimes. Therefore it becomes quite complicated to identify exactly what is with the weather that makes people encounter the pain when it is cold, rainy or humid outside.

How Weather May Affect Arthritis?                

Although scientists have toiled hard to arrive at a substantial connection between the joint pain and the weather, to date there has been no exact reason to state. This could be because of the inadequacy of the information received that cannot be relied upon to estimate the link. But with substantial experience in joint pain treatment, Dr Avtar Singh, the expert doctor of robotic knee replacement surgery believes there is a connection to a certain extent. This is because he has witnessed people suffering from arthritis facing joint pains as they might be sensitive to the modifications in barometric pressure.                    Now the question is How? It could be due to wearing out of the cartilage that pads the bones present inside the joint. It is then that the nerves are left unsheltered that further reacts to the changes in the pressure. Moving further, the other reason could be the expansion and contraction of tendons, muscles and any scarred tissue due to the alterations in the barometric pressure.

This further gain leads to pain in the joints that are affected by arthritis. Moreover, low temperature is another factor that thickens the fluid in the joints that makes the joints even stiffer. According to the orthopaedics doctor, people also encounter more pain when the weather does not let them move around as much as they do in a regular routine. However, people prefer staying indoors and loaf around when it is too cold or raining outside, which further stiffens their inactive joints which further leads to pain.

3 exercises that help you feel better after hip replacement or joint replacement

Just after your joint replacement or hip replacement surgery, while you are recovering, Dr. Avtar recommends performing some of the simplest exercises. You can also do these, even when you are still in the hospital. Post the hip or joint replacement surgery, contraction of the leg muscles might seem like a habit. These exercises will aid your body in getting back to its normal functionality.

Hamstring Contraction

In this exercise, you are supposed to lie on your back and curve your knee at an angle of 10-15 degrees with your feet placed on the floor. Now let your legs stay still and then press your heels into the floor. This movement will make your hamstring muscles contract. Now hold this position for at least 5 seconds. And then relax and repeat this movement 10 times.

Post Surgery Sports

With proficiency in surgeries and being the best joint replacement surgeon in Punjab, Dr. Avtar Singh does not recommend high-stress sports to be pursued after the joint or hip replacement surgery. On the contrary, those who engage in high-intensity sports such as hockey, jogging, mogul skiing, soccer, gymnastics and rock climbing are most prone to wearing out, breaking or loosening of the artificial joints.

As per the experience of Dr. Avtar Singh, the orthopaedics doctor those who are below 50 years and have undergone a replacement surgery, exhibits that 95% of them stay intact even after 10 years of the operation. Subsequently, there are certain low-intensity sports that one can pursue after the surgery. These are:

Golf

It is considered to be a great way to walk and exercise most of the muscles both in the upper and lower part of the body. One should prevent from wearing spikes that have the risk of getting caught in the ground. Also while playing golf one should also ensure to maintain a good balance while striking the ball.

Moreover, sufficient warming up session should also be performed at the driving range before playing golf. And once you get on the course do not forget to use the golf cart. But you should always remember to consult your orthopaedics doctor if you experience any issue while playing this sport.

Knee Pain & Joint Pain - Risk Factors and Types of Arthritis

know all about the causes of knee pain and joint pain, their risk factors and the type of arthritis that can help you to get recovered in less time.

The knee is considered to be the largest joint in the human body. A healthy knee is highly important as it enables one to walk, turn and perform multiple activities without any hassle. Since it is the connecting joint between the upper and lower legs’ bones, it enables the leg to bend and also provides the stability that supports one’s body weight.

Your knee joint comprises of three bones. The thigh bone (femur) is located right above the shinbone, also known as the tibia. When you twist or unbend your knees, the circular end of your thigh bone rotates and slides through the relatively flat topside of the shinbone.

The third bone is known as the kneecap (patella), which accompanies the muscles, that enables you to unbend your knees. The knee cap gives you the advantage and lessens the strain on the muscles. According to Dr Avtar Singh, the best orthopaedics surgeon, healthy knee joints comprises of the bones whose surfaces are extremely smooth and are protected with a tough screen of tissues called cartilages.

Probing further, according to an orthopaedics doctor if something goes wrong with the aforementioned parts of the joint, you are certain to encounter a severe joint pain that surely requires knee pain treatment. Besides that, there are several factors that are responsible for the development of this pain. Some of the causes are listed below that can help you with knee pain treatment:

Mechanical Problems

Below mentioned are some of the common mechanical issues that give rise to the knee joint pain:

Loose Body – At times the injury or decaying of the bones or cartilages affects the joint space. This is because the piece of the bone or cartilage invades into that joint space. This invasion is not problematic until the loose body intervenes with the movement of the knee joint.

Iliotibial Band Syndrome

This problem arises when the outer extension of your hip that is a tough band of tissue that connects to the outer part of the knees (iliotibial band) becomes so firm that it strikes against the top face of the femur.

Dislocation of the Kneecap

This problem arises, when the triangular bone (patella) that is the front covering of your knee, hatches out of its place.

In certain cases, the displaced kneecap stays, that further makes the dislocation visible.

Types of Arthritis

There are more than 100 varieties of arthritis that exists. But there are a few that affect the knee adversely. These are:

Osteoarthritis

Also known as degenerative arthritis, this is the most common of all the types. This problem occurs when the cartilage, present in the knee decays with the use and age.

Rheumatoid arthritis

This exhausting form of arthritis is an autoimmune condition that can impact any joint in your body. Although it is a chronic disease, it has a tendency to differ in severity and at times it is even temporary.

Gout

This is a kind of arthritis which is caused due to the building up of the crystals of the uric acid in the joint. Although gout usually affects the big toe, it can also strike the knee.

Other Risk Factors in Knee Pain

Besides the aforementioned causes of knee joint pain, there are a few other factors that contribute to this problem:

Overweight

With obesity and excessive weight comes the stress upon the knee joints. This stress develops even during normal activities such as walking or climbing the staircase. It also places your joint cartilage at risk since their breakdown gets accelerated.

The world has witnessed the power of technology and advancements in the past few years. The human world has experienced a fierce change in its medical world where modern techniques and technologies are involving and overtaking the conventional treatments at a great speed.

Robotics has transformed the outcome of knee replacement patients in a big manner. Now all the patients who undergo robotic knee replacement surgery performed by Dr Avtar Singh, an orthopaedics surgeon and his team of orthopaedics doctors are happier than before.

Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery in India

Robotic knee replacement surgery has gifted a normal, healthier and safe life for many patients. Patients themselves express their happiness of getting healthy lives after being treated through robotic technique.

Robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery was also introduced in an attempt to explore component alignment and to improve long-term clinical outcomes and implant durability, particularly in younger people.

Various comparative studies proved that improved alignment of the components was obtained after the robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery.

However, no comprehensive synthesis of long-term randomized data has been conducted particularly for robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery, particularly in younger people.

It is necessary to find whether the improved alignment of the components obtained by using robotic-assistance, would improve better long-term and functional outcomes and survivorship of knee surgery.

The main objective of the current study was to scrutinize the two groups of patients after long-term follow-up to find whether the clinical outcomes, radiographic and CT scan outcomes and the survivorship of knee surgery would be better after robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery or not.

How Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery Works?

Robotic knee surgery allows the doctor to collect patient-related information during the procedure to get a 3D structure of the knee to help plan the surgery.

Robotic knee replacement surgery is carried out with the help of the robotic surgery system, using a Robodoc system. CT-based preoperative planning using Integrated Surgical Technology Corp performed in the beginning before the day of surgery, and the robotic-assisted surgery using the ROBODOC surgical assistance in the second step.

The bone markers are registered to the computer, and the computer arm performs all the cutting and preparation of bones. This is in contrast to conventional jigs and cutting blocks. Actual implantation of the implants is performed by a surgeon. A Duracon posterior cruciate-substituting total knee prosthesis is used in all knees.

What are The Causes of Knee Pain Their Symptoms and Treatment

Knee pain is a problem that everyone feels dying with. Get to know what are the causes of knee pain their symptoms and treatment from Dr. Avtar Singh.

One of the most common complaints these days is of knee pain. Although knee pain is unpleasant and irritating, the good news is that it is often a treatable issue.

According to Dr. Avtar Singh, one of the best orthopaedics surgeon in Punjab, there is a set pattern to diagnose any knee pain. The process embarks upon with the focus on the medical history, where the details of the pain are sorted, such as what does the pain feels like (e.g. sharp, aching or burning), when did the pain begin (e.g. gradually or suddenly), or if there was any trauma (e.g. blow to the knee) etc.

Besides the medical history, the doctor also recommends knee joint examination and possibly asks for imaging tests in order to have an accurate diagnosis.

Once this is done, it gets easier for you and the doctor to figure out the key causes for the knee pain and an effective treatment plan is chalked out, that speeds up the knee healing process.

Causes of Knee Pain-

Osteoarthritis

This is the result of the wear and tear of the cartilage present in the knee, and people above the age of 50 are more prone to this problem. As the problem worsens, the pain aggravates and at times also leads to swelling.

Dislocated Kneecap

When the knee cap slides out of its original position, it causes sharp pain in the knee, swelling, and even stiffness at times. In medical terms, it is called ‘patellar dislocation’.

Meniscal Tear

This happens when the injury in the knee leads to ripped cartilage. Consequently, the harsh edges intervene in the joints which further results in pain and swelling. However, most of the times when people are active, they sense catching in the joint.

IT (iliotibial) band syndrome

The iliotibial (IT) band is a type of tough tissue that runs down from the hip to the external part of the knee.

This problem is common among the runners while descending.

Treatments for Knee Pain-

Self-Care Tips

Rest- Most of the times it is recommended to rest the knee joint, so as to abate the inflammation caused and to get relief from knee pain with joint pain treatment.

Icing-Apart from rest, icing is one of the tried and tested methods in lessening the knee pain. One can apply a cold gel pack or a bag of ice or frozen veggies on the affected area, to relieve it. Also, one should be cautious of not applying the ice directly to the knee and the treatment session should not be more than 15-20 minutes at a time.

Knee Support-It is believed that knee support should be recommended to an individual depending upon the diagnosis. For instance, in the cases of patellar tendonitis, supportive taping and patellar tendon straps are highly advisable to the patients. Also, there are times when the knee is unstable and to resolve this problem, a knee brace is recommended the concerned person. Similarly, in some kneecap fractures, a cast or splint is placed for a speedy recovery.

Joint pain is a typical reason for hip and knee torment. It very well may be degenerative (osteoarthritis), fiery (rheumatoid, lupus), present awful or due on avascular corruption (absence of blood deep down). Hip and knee substitution medical procedure are performed once patients have depleted non-employable treatment.

These medical procedures are customarily finished with assistance of bone cutting aides, however today, the most progressive automated helped innovation for knee substitution medical procedure is a novel option in contrast to regular careful systems.

During knee substitution medical procedure, there are numerous careful factors that are physically constrained by the Knee Replacement Surgeon. The test of adjusting the inserts and setting up the unresolved issues it very well may be mind boggling, intrusive and tedious as no two knee joints are actually the equivalent.

The mechanical arrangement of knee substitution is intended to help the specialist not just arrangement the medical procedure dependent on a patient’s one of a kind life structures, yet in addition position the all out knee embed utilizing a mix of PC and automated help.

Mechanical knee medical procedure enables the specialist to gather persistent explicit information during the method to construct a 3D model of the patient’s knee to help plan the medical procedure. During the strategy, a handheld mechanical autonomy helped device is utilized to position the particular cut aides precisely as proposed, in view of the patient-model.

“What we see currently is this is giving sub-millimeter, sub-degree precision, and it is extremely unlikely that with hand-held instruments – a saw – that we regularly utilize that we can accomplish that.”, said Dr. Avtar Singh, Head of Department of Orthopedics Surgeons at Amandeep Hospital. “The robot gives me the correct sort of data to make the medical procedure as exact and precise as would be prudent. Another additional preferred position is that it makes virtual limits on the bone surface.

This implies, in the event that I attempt to go amiss from the arrangement either purposefully or accidentally, the robot won’t let me cut some other structure than the harmed bone.” he included. Further, he included, “As the innovation has changed massively, presently multi day’s winter season is in the same class as summer for a joint substitution, particularly with the help of Robot.” Robotic innovation in knee substitution is known to:

Lessening blood misfortune

The blood misfortune is insignificant as the method offers exact outcomes and treats just that piece of the knee which should be supplanted.

Accelerate recuperation

No other knee substitution medical procedure is as powerful as the automated knee substitution. It gives the individual a chance to remain in a good place again inside a couple of days after the medical procedure.

Improve knee work

A characteristic vibe clears a path for development in knee capacity and portability. The knee joint after the medical procedure renders most extreme solace to the patient.

Help the patients return to their ordinary life a lot faster

Mechanical knee substitution has given the endowment of an ordinary life to an extraordinary number of patients. Patients themselves express their pleasure of ricocheting back to their ordinary lives in the wake of getting their knees supplanted through automated method. Dr. Avtar Singh at Amandeep Hospital is one of the early adopters of this demonstrated innovation which was presented in India a little more than a year back.

The NAVIO Robotics Surgical System albeit generally new in India has more than 150 establishments in the USA with near 20,000 medical procedures previously performed. Being the main Punjabi specialist to perform robotic knee replacement surgery, he has effectively changed numerous lives by making them torment free and autonomous.

“We have the best innovation accessible for patients in India itself. Our go is to constantly offer the best nature of consideration to the patients. Every patient merits the endowment of agony free development” said Dr. Avtar Singh, an orthopaedics doctor in Punjab. Get a pinch of the recuperating intensity of this method and lounge in the greatness of another life. Contact the specialists today.
