Knee Osteoarthritis: Understanding Your Condition

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis in Egypt, caused by the gradual breakdown of joint cartilage. At JointCure, we provide a Step-Ladder approach to knee arthritis treatment in Cairo — starting with the least invasive options before moving to advanced surgical solutions.

Grading Knee Arthritis

Grade 1

Minor bone spurs, minor symptoms. Conservative management is effective.

Grade 2

Visible joint space narrowing. PRP and physiotherapy can help significantly.

Grade 3

Significant cartilage loss. May benefit from viscosupplementation or arthroscopy.

Grade 4

Bone-on-bone contact. Knee replacement is often the definitive solution.

Non-Surgical Biological Treatments

  • PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Therapy
  • Viscosupplementation (Hyaluronic Acid)
  • Supervised Muscle Loading Physiotherapy
  • Off-Loader Bracing Technology

When Surgery is Needed

If your daily walking is restricted to less than 200 meters, or if pain is preventing you from sleeping, it is time to discuss surgical management options. Dr. Labib offers both partial (unicompartmental) knee replacement for isolated wear, and total knee replacement for advanced, whole-joint degeneration.

PRP Injections for Knee Arthritis

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) has emerged as one of the most effective biological treatments for early-to-moderate knee arthritis in Cairo . By concentrating your own growth factors and injecting them into the damaged joint, PRP can reduce inflammation, improve joint lubrication, and stimulate the repair of remaining cartilage cells. Multiple studies support its effectiveness for Grade 2 and 3 OA.

When Medicine Transitions to Surgery

If conservative management no longer controls your pain, surgical options include:

  • High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO): Realigning the leg to redistribute weight away from the damaged compartment. Ideal for younger patients.
  • Partial Knee Replacement: Resurface the damaged half of the joint only.
  • Total Knee Replacement: Full resurfacing for advanced, widespread degeneration.
