Jul 24, 2024
Lee Soo-chan, CEO of Himchan Hospital (Orthopedic surgeon) and Kim Tae-hyun (Orthopedic surgeon) are the MBN Thumb King, which aired on the 23rd. Definitely preparing for retirement in the century! Appearing in the episode of How to Hold Knee Pain, he introduced effective treatments and prevention methods, as well as questions about knee joint health that viewers are curious about.
In the 600th episode of the broadcast, Lee Soo-chan and Kim Tae-hyun delivered accurate medical information to 100 viewers' various questions and concerns about knee arthritis.
One of the main questions of viewers revealed on the show was whether artificial joint surgery must be performed.
In response, CEO Lee Soo-chan said, `Usually, if the leg is bent in an O-shape or the pain is severe even when taking medicine, artificial joint surgery should be performed when the cartilage is more than 80% worn out"Especially when the cartilage is more than 80% worn out, the surgery is inevitable because it directly touches and rubs against the bones, causing extreme pain."
Regarding the timing of artificial joint surgery, Director Kim Tae-hyun said, "The most important criterion for deciding surgery is the degree of pain. Even in their 50s and 60s, if the treatment is not well treated with medicine or procedures and the pain is severe, it is better to consider surgery after consultation with a specialist."
In addition, the broadcast also introduced correct information on 'myal aspiration concentrate intraarticular injection', which has recently become increasingly interested. This treatment was recognized as a new medical technology by the Ministry of Health and Welfare as it was evaluated as effective and safe for pain relief and joint function improvement in mid-term knee arthritis. Since it is not suitable for treating end-stage knee arthritis, it is recommended to check whether it is suitable for you after consulting with a specialist before the procedure.
In addition, the broadcast also introduced proper exercise methods that help knee health, such as doing the right posture and skating exercises to prevent knee pain, which are representative exercises that strengthen muscles around knee joints.
Referring to the exercise method, CEO Lee Soo-chan said "Women have weaker muscles than men, so if they don't exercise because they have knee arthritis, they can progress faster."Sitting down, pulling your toes toward your body with one knee straightened, and repeating the movement of lifting your legs for about 5 seconds also reduces pain caused by knee arthritis and increases knee mobility after artificial joint surgery," he advised.
