髕骨軟骨軟化症 (chondromalacia patella)

2007-08-25 9:36 am

上個月(7月份)工傷碰撞到膝部, 膝痛到現在差不多兩個月, 曾做了十一次物理治療, 並在8月頭曾復工數天.(被醫生建議2個月輕工, 但公司暫時安排不到輕工) 復工之後膝痛情況惡化. 再求診骨科醫生, 被建議做MRI. 剛收到MRI report, 證實患了Early chondromalacia patella. 請問此症是否只可靠物理治療和食藥而治療? 什麼情況下會被建議做手術?

以下是MRI 報告 impression 部分:
Early chondromalacia patella
Small bone island in the lateral femoral condyle
Slight soft tissue oedema anterior to the patellar tendon

請有經驗或專業人士回答這個問題, 感激萬分! (請不要copy網上資料, 因已曾閱讀過)

問此症是否只可靠物理治療和食藥而治療?
Yes!
什麼情況下會被建議做手術?
When fail all sort of non-operative treatment, surgical treatments is last resort, it include:

Arthroscopy: The surgeon removes fragments of damaged kneecap cartilage through a small incision, using a pencil-sized instrument (arthroscope).

Realignment: The surgeon opens the knee structure and realigns the kneecap, reducing abnormal pressure on cartilage and supporting structures around the front of the knee
