The application of our Compress represents a valuable aid in case of knee problems, in particular at meniscus, patella, and following the surgical implantation of the prosthesis, both to ease the pain and to promote an effective post-surgical recovery by deflating the edema that often occurs. The knee is an extremely delicate, important, and complex joint. The issues that concern it can be related to: bones, muscles, cartilage, or tendons. These lesions, which in severe cases require surgery, can be traumatic, degenerative (due to wear), or congenital.
The meniscus is a fibro-cartilaginous structure located in the knee. There are two: the medial meniscus and the lateral meniscus. They cover the function of absorbing shocks and intervene in rolling motions and slipping of the joint, avoiding direct friction between the femur and tibia. Meniscus injury is one of the most frequent, especially in athletes.
Very common, above all among jumping athletes, is the tendinitis over the patella, which is the inflammation of the patellar tendon, characterized by pain in the front knee.
The synovitis of the knee is an inflammation of the synovial membrane, the tissue that covers the joints inside them. In response to the inflammatory state, the body produces an excessive amount of synovial fluid, resulting in a thickening of the membrane and an important edema or Baker’s cyst at the joint level. The Compress works by lubricating the synovia and eliminating excess fluid, giving the patient immediate relief from pain and return to normal mobility. Synovitis can occur in acute form, due to a trauma, or chronic, often in association with rheumatoid arthritis.
