What is a knee replacement surgery?

The replacement of knee that is also known as arthroplasty, could be called with greater precision “put new surface to the knee “. Is a surgical procedure that can help relieve pain and return the function in the articulation of a severely damaged knee .
The goal of a knee replacement is to repair the parts of the knee joint that have been damaged and relieve the pain that other treatments can’t.

The metal and plastic parts are used to cover the end of the bones that makes the knee joint along with the kneecap. The procedure consist in cutting the damaged bone and cartilage of your femur, shin and kneecap and replacing it with an artificial joint (prosthesis) made of metal alloys, high quality plastics and polymers.

Basic steps for the knee replacement procedure:

Prepare the bone : Damaged cartilage surfaces at the ends of the femur and tibia are removed along with a small amount of underlying bone.
Place the metal implants: The cartilage and bone removed are replaced with metal components that recreate the surface of the joint. These metal parts can be cemented or “press fit” into the bone
Resurfaced the kneecap : The lower surface with a plastic button. Some surgeons don’t resurface the kneecap, depending on the case.
Insert a spacer: A medical-grade plastic spacer is inserted between the metal components to create a smooth sliding surface.

This surgery should only be considered if you have severe arthritis or a serious knee injury. If this is not the case you may consider a partial knee replacement surgery or an arthroscopy surgery.

You can also try other non-surgical treatments to relieve your knee pain.

An orthopedic surgeon evaluates the range of motion, stability and strength of your knee to determine if a knee replacement is right for you.
The type of prosthesis for your knee replacement is chosen by your age, size, weight , shape of the knee , your level of activity and general health.
