FAQ's
Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that causes the cartilage in the knee joint to wear away. The main symptoms include persistent pain in the knee, limited range of motion, swelling, and morning stiffness. If the pain increases with activity or your knee becomes difficult to move, you may have osteoarthritis. Diagnosis is made with a physical exam and imaging tests, such as an MRI or X-ray.
ACL tears are one of the most common knee ligament injuries, leading to knee instability, pain, and decreased performance, especially in athletic activities. Treatment may include physical therapy to strengthen the muscles, but in severe cases, surgical repair of the ligament (such as reconstruction with a graft) may be necessary. Dr. Abdollahi Fard, with fellowships from Switzerland and Germany, performs advanced ACL and PCL surgeries, and patients often return to normal activities after a few months.
Knee replacement is recommended for patients with severe osteoarthritis pain or advanced injuries, where the damaged joint is replaced with an artificial prosthesis. Benefits include pain relief, improved mobility, and a return to daily activities. Dr. Abdollahi Fard, with experience in revision arthroplasty (advanced replacement surgery) from Austria, performs this procedure in Tabriz hospitals, and patients report feeling more comfortable after the surgery.
Hip replacement is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged joint (due to arthritis or fracture) with an artificial prosthesis that reduces pain and improves movement. The recovery period is usually 6 to 12 weeks and includes physical therapy to strengthen the muscles. Dr. Abdollahi Fard, with an arthroplasty fellowship from Munich, performs this surgery with a focus on long-term results.
Treatment includes immobilization with a cast or splint, closed reduction, and in severe cases, surgery with screws and plates. The goal is to repair the bone and restore joint function. Dr. Abdollahi Fard specializes in orthopedic bone and hip surgery and tailors treatment based on the severity of the injury.
Intra-articular injections are a minimally invasive method of reducing pain and inflammation using steroid medications or hyaluronic acid. This procedure is useful for osteoarthritis or chronic pain in the knee and hip joints and can delay the need for surgery. Dr. Abdollahi Fard performs these injections to improve movement and reduce pain.
