KNEE JOINT SYNOVITIS

Knee joint synovitis is an inflammation of the synovial membrane on the lining of the knee joint. The synovial membrane is a layer of membrane that produces the fluid inside the joint. If it becomes inflamed, pain, swelling and fluid accumulation can occur inside the joint. Knee joint synovitis can occur for a number of reasons. Here are the causes and treatment methods for knee joint synovitis:

Causes:
Rheumatoid Arthritis:
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s own immune system attacks the joint tissue. In this case, inflammation and synovitis can develop inside the knee joint.
Osteoartrite:
Wear and degeneration of the cartilage in the knee joint can lead to osteoarthritis. In this case, inflammation and synovitis can develop inside the joint.

Infections:
When bacterial, viral or fungal infections reach the knee joint, inflammation and synovitis can occur inside the joint.
Trauma and Injuries:
A traumatic injury to the knee joint can cause inflammation and synovitis within the joint.
Crystal Arthropathies:
Crystal formations such as uric acid crystals (gout) or calcium pyrophosphate crystals (pseudogout) can cause inflammation inside the knee joint.

Non-Surgical Treatment Methods:

Medication Therapy:
Painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs or corticosteroids prescribed by a doctor can be used.
Physical Therapy:
Physical therapy programs can be applied to increase joint mobility and strength.
Rest and Rest:
Resting the joint and avoiding excessive activities can support the healing process.
Cold or Hot Application:
Cold compresses or warm applications can relieve inflammation and pain.
Joint Aspiration and Injections:
Joint aspiration can be done to remove excess fluid that has accumulated in the joint. Corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid injections may also be used.

Surgical Treatment Methods:
Arthroscopic Surgery:
Arthroscopy can be used to remove inflammatory tissue or fluid within the joint and to examine the joint.
Synovectomy:
A surgical procedure to remove inflammatory synovial tissue within the joint.
Joint Replacement (Total Knee Arthroplasty):
In cases of severe osteoarthritis or in cases that do not respond to other treatments, the knee joint can be replaced with a prosthesis.
