Knee Replacement Surgery Before and After
What is Knee Replacement Surgery?
Knee replacement surgery, also known as total knee arthroplasty, involves replacing a damaged knee joint with prosthetic components. The implants typically consist of metal components that replace the ends of the thigh bone (femur) and shin bone (tibia), as well as a plastic insert to recreate smooth joint movement.
How Does Knee Replacement Surgery Work?
Knee replacement surgery typically involves the following steps:
- Incision: The surgeon makes an incision to access the knee joint.
- Bone Preparation: The damaged surfaces of the knee bones are carefully prepared to receive the implant components.
- Implant Placement: The prosthetic components are precisely fitted and secured into place.
- Closure The incision is closed, typically with dissolvable sutures.
What Does Knee Replacement Surgery Treat?
Knee replacement surgery is a common solution for severe knee conditions such as:
- Osteoarthritis: Addressing advanced damage to the knee joint due to wear-and-tear.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: Managing inflammation-related damage to the knee.
- Post-traumatic Arthritis Treating damage caused by a previous knee injury.
Who Is a Candidate for Knee Replacement Surgery?
You might be a good candidate for knee replacement surgery if you:
