What are the solutions, if there is bone to bone contact in knee joint?

Severe osteoarthritis

Bone-to-bone contact knee pain indicates severe osteoarthritic knee. When the cartilage in the knee wears away to the point of causing bone-to-bone contact knee pain, the diagnosis will involve moving your knee to check the range of motion and signs of degeneration and injury. Your doctor will also ask you questions about your medical history. This can include details of your symptoms and how long you have been experiencing them. Imaging tests like X-rays, and MRI, will be used to confirm a diagnosis of bone-to-bone contact osteoarthritis. The initial treatments of osteoarthritis are weight reduction, physiotherapy, and lifestyle modification. When the conservative treatments for advanced-stage of osteoarthritis have been exhausted, then knee-replacement surgery is the procedure of choice. Knee-replacement surgery or knee arthroplasty is a surgical procedure to replace the damaged surfaces of the knee joint to relieve pain and disability, and correct mal-alignment of the knee joint.

Robotic knee replacement surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses a robotic arm to assist the surgeon in performing the procedure The robotic arm is equipped with sensors and cameras that provide real-time feedback to the surgeon, allowing for greater precision and accuracy in implant placement.

During the procedure, the damaged parts of the knee joint are removed and replaced with an artificial joint made of metal and plastic. The robotic arm assists the surgeon in positioning the implant with greater accuracy and alignment, which can lead to better long-term outcomes for the patient.

After surgery, patients undergo a rehabilitation program to help them regain strength and mobility in the affected knee. With proper rehabilitation and follow-up care, patients can expect to walk without pain and enjoy a better quality of life.
