In stage 3 gonarthrosis of the knee joint, complete flexion and extension of the leg become impossible. The joint is severely deformed, and the hyaline cartilage has practically completely disappeared. The leg is in constant pain, even at rest and during sleep. The pain prevents full flexion and extension of the limb. The gait undergoes changes, and the individual begins to use a cane or crutches. The quality of life is significantly reduced.
Even if the cartilage is completely destroyed, shunting will allow the patient to await a quota for joint replacement therapy without pain and discomfort. An orthopedic surgeon practicing our technique will provide detailed prospects for each specific case during an in-person consultation. The list of partner clinics can be viewed here.
Stage 3 gonarthrosis is also an indication for arthro-medullary shunting. It has been developed for the treatment of degenerative-dystrophic joint diseases. The technique utilizes advanced medical technologies and harnesses the internal resources of the body.
