For individuals with knee osteoarthritis who wish to avoid or delay knee replacement surgery, Knee Joint Distraction (KJD) offers a promising alternative. This joint-preserving technique helps reduce pain and restore function by allowing the knee joint to heal naturally.
What is Knee Joint Distraction?
KJD is a minimally invasive procedure that involves placing an external frame around the knee to gently separate the joint surfaces for a short period. This reduces pressure on the cartilage, giving it time to repair and regenerate.
Benefits of Knee Joint Distraction:
-
Delays the need for total knee replacement
-
Preserves the natural joint structure
-
Reduces pain and stiffness
-
Improves mobility and quality of life
-
Ideal for younger or active patients seeking non-permanent surgical solutions

KJD may be suitable for patients with moderate to severe osteoarthritis who are not yet candidates for joint replacement or prefer to delay surgery.
