Introduction
Ozone has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Injecting ozone into the knee joint of the human body can reduce knee inflammation and also treat conditions such as knee swelling. Medical ozone is one of the commonly used agents in knee replacement surgery. Appropriate concentrations of medical ozone injected into the joint cavity can significantly improve joint mobility, suppress synovial tissue inflammation, and reduce degeneration of articular cartilage.
Generally, if no adverse reactions occur after ozone injection, most patients can proceed with knee replacement surgery under the guidance of a physician. If in doubt, it is recommended to consult a healthcare provider in advance.
Ozone has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Injecting ozone into the knee joint can help reduce knee inflammation and treat conditions such as knee swelling. Additionally, medical ozone is one of the commonly used agents in knee replacement surgery. Appropriate concentrations of medical ozone injected into the joint cavity can improve joint mobility, suppress synovial tissue inflammation, and slow down cartilage degeneration. Therefore, knee replacement surgery can still be performed after ozone injection.
However, improper use of ozone—such as using too high a concentration—may lead to hemolysis and cause harm to the patient’s body, in which case knee replacement surgery might not be advisable.
Patients should maintain good daily habits and follow a healthy, scientifically balanced diet, actively optimizing their physical condition to minimize discomfort during treatment and enhance therapeutic outcomes.
