Do you need a Kneecap ??

Yes & no.You certainly don't need a kneecap or hinged brace for arthritis. You are much better off & much more comfortable doing exercises & making subtle changes in your lifestyle. If you have end stages knee arthritis, then also you won't benefit from any braces, you may be better off getting a knee replacement.

If we are able to diagnose isolated arthritis of one half of the knee replacement.

If we are able to diagnose isolated arthritis of one half of the knee, then you will benefit from an offloading brace.The problem with the offloading brace is that it also offloads your purse! Most such braces are very expensive.Another problem is that you need to wear them throughout the day, which may be a challenge n our mostly tropical climate & if you are fond of tight clothing.Sometimes these braces simply don't fit us diameters & that causes the brace to lift off the skin in some places.An ill-fitting brace will not work for you & might actually be counterproductive by constantly rubbing against the skin & eventually ulcerating it!

How Soon will the braces start having its effect?

We are all in a terrible hurry to see results, especially after spending a fortune on the offloading brace. Results in terms of pain relief take time . just like a new shoe, the knee may feel sore. Some people don't obtain that much of pain, but their mobility & joint flexibility improves. In a nutshell, it is unrealistic to expect magic from the braces. Be prepared to wait out a few weeks for its effects to kick in.

Are offloading braces available in India?

Yes, but only on a doctors prescription.All the braces available off the shelf are mostly useless from afar as knee osteoarthritis.

Are you Suffering from Pain in Meniscus?

A meniscus is a part of cartilage that gives a cushion between the femur (thighbone) and tibia (shinbone). In the each knee joint, there are two menisci which can be torn or damaged during activities. The meniscus can be torn and cause pressure or direct contact from a forced rotation or twist during activities. Heavy lifting, sudden turn or pivot or deep squatting can cause meniscus tear injury. Normally, sports person or athletes are at the risk for meniscus tear but it is also quite common in normal people too.

The meniscus is gradually weakened with the age and cause stiffness and pain in the joints. Older people experiences a meniscus tear due to degeneration as the knee cartilage becomes thinner and weaker with the age.
The symptoms of meniscus tear are

• Having pain when touch the area
• Swelling
• Difficulty in moving knee 
• Difficulty in motion
• Feeling of knee catching or locking

A patient may experiences a popping or slipping sensation, which is a true indication that part of cartilage has become loose and blocking the knee joint. If a person experiences any of these signs, it is good to consult with a doctor. The treatment options for meniscus tear can vary from home remedies to outpatient surgery which is completely depends on the severity of the injury.
If a person is not responding to the normal treatment then doctor may suggest arthroscopic surgery. In the surgery, the surgeon will make a tiny incision in the knee and insert tools and a camera to repair or trim away the damaged meniscus. The entire surgery will takes an hour and so. The patient can go home same day of the surgery however, full recovery will take time. Physical exercises and proper rest is recommended after the surgery.
