Loose Body Removal in the Knee

Restoring Knee Function & Eliminating Pain with Arthroscopic Surgery

What Are Loose Bodies in the Knee?

Loose bodies are small fragments of bone or cartilage that break off and float within the knee joint. These fragments can cause pain, swelling, locking, or restricted movement in the knee.

They may result from:

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Joint Trauma
  • Osteochondritis Dissecans
  • Post-Surgical Debris

Symptoms of Loose Bodies in the Knee

  • Sudden locking or catching of the knee.
  • Pain or discomfort when bending or straightening the knee.
  • Swelling or fluid buildup in the knee joint.
  • A grinding or clicking sensation when moving.
  • Feeling as if something is floating inside the knee.
When Is Loose Body Removal Necessary?
  • Frequent knee locking or instability.
  • Severe pain affecting daily activities.
  • Swelling that doesn’t improve with rest or medication.
  • Cartilage damage leading to joint deterioration.
Arthroscopic Loose Body Removal: A Minimally Invasive Solution

The best way to remove loose bodies without major surgery is through arthroscopy – a minimally invasive procedure using a small camera and specialized instruments.

Procedure Steps:
  • Step 1: Small incisions (portals) are made in the knee.
  • Step 2: A tiny camera (arthroscope) is inserted for clear visualization.
  • Step 3: Loose bodies are identified and removed using specialized tools.
  • Step 4: The knee is flushed to ensure all fragments are cleared.
  • Step 5: Small incisions are closed with stitches or surgical strips.
Benefits of Arthroscopic Loose Body Removal
  • Minimally Invasive: Small incisions reduce recovery time.
  • Faster Recovery: Return to normal activities within weeks.
  • Pain Relief: Immediate relief from knee locking and discomfort.
  • Improved Mobility: Restores smooth joint movement.
  • Prevents Further Damage: Avoids long-term knee deterioration.
