Small spurs are seldom a problem - rather they are just an X-ray indicator that there is an arthritic process going on inside the knee. But if the bone spurs do become large and symptom atic, they can be abraded away using a rotating burr (by arthroscopic abrasion or abrasion arthroplasty ).

The way that cysts and spurs come about is that the disordered bone tries to desperately heal the damage in its joint surface. Bone is dissolved (resorbed) from some areas and built up in others, but in a disordered way, leaving holes in some places and heaped up areas in others - cysts and spurs. The cysts and spurs contribute to joint ...

Early osteoarthritis is managed conservatively with anti-inflammatory medications, removal of fluid in the joint and injections into the knee. As deformity progresses, minor procedures might be performed, such as removal of bone spurs, but later deformities may be indications for osteotomy, unicompartmental knee replacement or total knee ...

In a total knee replacement (or arthroplasty), the idea is generally to remove the joint cartilage and the underlying bone from the two sides of the knee in a block - one block from the femur bone and the other block - including both the medial and lateral menisci - from the tibia bone. After trimming off any interfering bone spurs, the removed ...

Where the cartilage layer joins onto the bone beneath it is a region known as the 'tidemark'. Tidemark If the cartilage is lacerated, cuting through the tidemark and into the sub- chondral bone then some healing can occur, although the cartilage that forms is ' fibrocartilage ' rather than true joint (or 'articular') cartilage.

The patella is a special bone because it is embedded in the tendon of the quadriceps muscle, and normally glides in the groove (trochlear groove) of the femur bone as the knee bends and straightens. The lower part of the tendon is called the patellar tendon and is …
