Knee Surgery

Knee surgery is a surgical operation on the knee joint, named after the Soviet ophthalmologist A.A. Knee (1893-1978).

The knee joint is one of the most loaded joints in the human body. With age and with excessive stress, degenerative changes develop in it - arthrosis and arthritis. This leads to pain, limited joint mobility and decreased quality of life.

Knee surgery can be performed in severe stages of arthrosis and arthritis of the knee joint to eliminate pain and restore joint function.

There are several types of knee surgery:

1. Arthroscopic debridementplasty - removal of damaged tissue in the knee joint using an arthroscope.

2. Osteotomy is a corrective operation on the bones to change the axis of the limb and unload the affected part of the joint.

3. Endoprosthetics is the complete replacement of the articular surfaces of the knee joint with artificial implants.

Knee surgery can significantly improve the quality of life of patients with severe damage to the knee joint, relieve pain and restore the ability to move. The success of the operation largely depends on the correct choice of method and technique of surgical intervention.

Knee Surgery is a Russian ophthalmologist known for his research in the treatment of cataracts and glaucoma. He was born in 1893 in St. Petersburg and graduated from the medical faculty of the First Moscow State University.

Knee surgery began his career as an ophthalmologist at the Moscow Eye Institute, where he worked until 1924. During this period, he conducted numerous studies aimed at studying the causes and treatment of various forms of eye disease.

Koleni soon gained a reputation as an experienced physician and specialist in the treatment of cataracts, which led to his invitation to the State Institute of Ophthalmology in Moscow. There he began developing new methods for treating cataracts.

One of the key treatments developed by Koleni was his method of dissolving the lens using ultraviolet light. Research by Koleni and his colleagues has shown that ultraviolet radiation helps dissolve cataracts within the lens without damaging adjacent eye tissue. This technique has become widely used in modern ophthalmological practice.

In addition to treating cataracts, Koleni also conducted research into glaucoma, another serious eye disease that leads to vision loss. He has developed new treatments for glaucoma, using not only traditional medications, but also new technologies such as laser therapy and cryosurgery.

Kolenya's works had a great influence on the development of ophthalmology and, especially, on increasing the effectiveness of cataract treatment. It is important to note that he not only practiced medical science, but also developed it by conducting clinical research and training other specialists. Thanks to this, a significant number of practicing ophthalmologists in Russia began to use his methods, which contributed to a significant improvement in the quality of medical care.
