Joint center
The Joint Center of SAEMYUNG HOSPITAL is a well-known place to perform joint replacement (knee) and joint endoscopy very nicely among various types of orthopedic surgery.
Artificial joint replacement
If the joint damage is very severe, the medication, exercise therapy, physical therapy, or mass therapy would not be very effective and it would be very painful. In addition, as the motion range of the joint is limited, a patient would have difficulties to perform daily activities. In this case, the knee, hip or shoulder can be replaced with the artificial joint.
Targets
- Severe degenerative arthritis (knee, hip, shoulder)
- Femur neck fracture, Femur avascular necrosis
- Serious injury of knee bone
- Severe rotator cuff tear
Effects
- Severe join pain will disappear.
- You can enjoy daily life without restriction.
- You can go light hiking and take exercise
artificial joint surgery
Joint endoscopic surgery
It is a surgical method to treat the injured area of the joint by making 2~3 small holes with less than 1 cm in diameter in the joint and then inserting joint endoscopic surgery equipment with 2~5 mm in diameter. It is mainly performed for the purpose of relieving sports injuries, cartilage and ligament injuries caused by traffic accidents, purulent infections, and initial symptoms of arthritis.
Targets
- Knee : Meniscal tear, cruciate ligament tear, degenerative arthritis
- Shoulder : Rotator cuff tear, calcific tendinitis, tendon injury of impingement syndrome
Therapeutic effects and benefits
- Clinically proven to reduce pain and improve joint function for more than 2 years with one injection.
- It induces a fundamental improvement of the joint's immune response.
- Because it is an injection treatment, you can get it within a relatively short time without surgery, bleeding, incision, or anesthesia.
- Older or diabetic patients can also be treated.
- After treatment, return to daily life is fast.
Stem cell cartilage regeneration
Articular cartilage is a tissue free of blood vessels and nerves, so it can not be regenerated when damaged or degenerative. Knee Cartilage Stem Cell Therapy Process Endoscopy is used to make holes in the articular cartilage defects at regular intervals and then prepare a stem cell treatment agent (sterile). Afterwards, they are squeezed from the inside of the hole of bone defects and filled slowly, and the stem cell surface is flattened.
Knee cartilage stem cell therapy 'is excellent cartilage regeneration effect. Endoscopy can be used to minimize bleeding and pain, and the advantage is that the procedure time is short. The recovery period is also short.
