Knee Pain Knee Replacement
Know Your Knee
Your knee joint is the single largest and one of
the most complex joints in your body. It has the
most important role in providing you with the
ability to carry your body weight and move
around. The Knee Joint is made of three different
bones, which are held together by various
ligaments and accompanied by soft tissues, each
of which has a different specific role to play
5
The Bones 1 The Femur, or the thigh bone 2
The Tibia, or the leg bone 3 The Patella, or
the knee cap The Ligaments provide support and
maintain these bones in their native places
during all kinds of activities, whereas the
menisci, which are thick disc like structures
present in between the bones act mainly as shock
absorbers. All the three bones which form the
joint are further covered by a layer of tissue
called as the Cartilage, which permits free and
smooth movement between the bone surfaces. Due to
its pivotal role in all kinds of activities of
daily living, the knee is subjected to various
stresses and injuries.

What is Arthritis ???
Arthritis is the result of a gradual degenerative
process which goes on in the joint. This gradual
wear and tear eventually erodes the smooth
lining of the joint this is the CARTILAGE. Loss
of the cartilage lining leads to the bones
rubbing against each other and consequently the
symptoms of arthritis been to show and progress.

Total knee Replacement
Total knee replacement has emerged as a highly
successful and beneficial surgical procedure in
patients suffering from advanced arthritis of the
knee joint. In a joint replacement surgery, the
damaged surfaces of the knee joint are replaced
by metal prosthesis (artificial joints) generally
made of cobalt-chromium alloy or titanium.
Metallic prosthesis glides over a polyethylene
bearing. With the use of latest surgical
techniques patients are offered a pain free, and
normal range of movement enabling them to
continue with their routine activities The right
decision about choice of an appropriate
prosthesis for a particular patient is made by
the treating surgeon in consultation with the
patient, best suited to the patients knees and
demands.

Computer Assisted Space Suit Technology

During computer-assisted surgery, a model of the
knee is developed using information taken from a
special instrument that outlines the contour of
the knee. An infrared camera attached to a
computer sees signals from this instrument. The
computer then develops a model of the knee. This
image is projected onto a monitor and helps guide
the surgeon's attachment of the artificial
implant to the bone. Along with the surgeon's
skill and experience, CAS provides an internal
view for more precise alignment of the implant,
which can contribute to the long-term success of
the total knee replacement. Computer-assisted
surgery is available for all total knee
replacement surgeries but is best used for
difficult cases like knock-kneed or bow-legged
deformities. After surgery, patients are usually
in the hospital for about five days.
Rehabilitation begins in the hospital and will
continue at home. Patients usually use crutches
or a walker for about six weeks
