summary

There are many causes of knee swelling, mainly in the following diseases: synovitis, knee osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, anterior cruciate ligament fracture, posterior cruciate ligament fracture, meniscus tear, suppurative arthritis, patellar dislocation caused by trauma, patellar fracture, tibial intercondylar eminence fracture, tibial plateau fracture, femoral condyle fracture, etc. I'd like to explain the reasons for this situation.

What reason is knee swelling

First: knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease of knee swelling in the elderly, and it is also the main cause of lower limb disability in the elderly, which seriously affects the daily activities and quality of life of the elderly. Therefore, active prevention of osteoarthritis and delaying the progress of osteoarthritis should become a daily compulsory course for the elderly.

Second: Patients with knee osteoarthropathy should pay attention to less going up and down stairs, less hiking, less mountaineering, less standing for a long time, less holding children and less lifting heavy objects in their daily life, so as to avoid aggravating the disease due to excessive load of knee joint.

Third: maintain a proper weight, prevent obesity, increase the burden of lower limb joints, once overweight, to actively lose weight, pay attention to adjust diet, control weight.

matters needing attention

Try to avoid wearing high-heeled shoes for a long distance. High heeled shoes will change the force line of lower limbs. In order to reduce the impact force on the knee joint and avoid the impact and wear of the knee cartilage, the thick and elastic soft soled shoes should be the first choice for the elderly in their daily activities.
