Can knee loose bodies be cured?
The knee generally refers to the knee joint, and the loose body can generally be cured, but it also needs to be comprehensively judged based on the patient's etiology and condition, and cannot be generalized. If you engage in heavy physical labor for a long time, or are hit by external forces, it may cause damage to the knee joint, resulting in the shedding of articular cartilage. After wear and tear in the joint cavity, it will form a state of loose body. It is recommended to undergo surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor in time. Removing the loose body through surgery can restore joint function. However, if the location of the loose body is relatively deep, or it is caused by factors such as bone hyperplasia in middle-aged and elderly people, it may lead to articular cartilage degeneration, aging, and shedding, which generally cannot be completely cured. With age, the knee joint will undergo degenerative changes, which is a normal aging process and cannot be restored to its youthful state. After falling ill, it is necessary to keep paying attention to changes in the body's condition, seek medical attention promptly if any discomfort occurs, and also pay attention to rest, develop good living habits, and avoid engaging in heavy physical labor. When going out, it is important to keep the knee joint warm and avoid vigorous exercise, and it is appropriate to participate in aerobic exercise.
