Treatment
The intervention of treatment differs from one case to another as we may go with conservative treatment or rehabilitation after surgical interference
Conservative treatment
Acute stage
on this stage we cannot move the knee so we control pain and effusion with unique technique includes cryo therapy and compression therapy and magnetic therapy and ionophoresis
Chronic stage
as pain subsides and inflammation decreased we can go with our physical therapy modalities (hot packs – ultrasound- laser-bipatron-electrotherapy etc.) and therapeutic exercises
