Knee replacement surgery is the most common joint replacement procedure.
The knee replacement is done in both ways - total replacement or
partial replacement. The surgery is done in such a way that the metal
or plastic components are placed instead of damaged joints.
There
are several medical conditions that may lead to the need of knee replacement , and arthritis is the most common among them.
Genetics, developmental abnormalities, some form of injury and
obesity are the other contributing factors.
Patients
who have tried and failed the non-surgical means to get respite from
knee pain such as weight loss, lifestyle modifications,
anti-inflammatory medicines or cortisone injections, all to no avail,
can greatly benefit from knee replacement surgery.
Knee
replacement surgery (also known as total knee joint arthroplasty) is
usually undertaken when knee problems associated with osteoarthritis
and rheumatoid arthritis have resulted in the wearing down of the
knee joint. In a total knee replacement operation, a surgeon cuts
away damaged bone and cartilage from the thighbone, shinbone and
kneecap, and replaces it with an artificial joint (knee prosthesis)
made of metal alloys, plastics or polymers. Knee replacement surgery
is one of the safest surgeries of its kind, and has a 90 to 95%
success rate.
