DRDKDASORTHO.COM: The knee joint is formed by the lower end of the thigh bone (femur) and the upper end of the shin bone (tibia). The knee cap (patella) sits in the tendon of the quadriceps muscle, which is connected to the tibia by the patella tendon. It forms a third joint with the femur. Arthritis is a degenerative condition of the cartilage on the surface of a joint. The cartilage normally provides a low friction, impact resistant, bearing that contributes to efficient pain free stability in posture and locomotion. High pressure or repetitive loading can damage cartilage, like any other tissue or material.
What are the benefits of total knee replacement?
The direct benefits of replacing the knee joint include:
• The relief of pain and in some cases eliminates it all together.
•Improves mobility
• Corrects deformity
• The indirect benefits are just as important and, by restoring the ability to walk and function, knee replacement allows you to improve your fitness and improve the quality of your life.
At surgery, an incision measuring about 8 to 10 inches long will be made either on the front or side of your knee. The surgeon, Dr. D.K. Das will remove small amounts of worn bone from the lower end of your femur and the upper end of your tibia, so that flat surfaces can be created to fasten your new prosthesis to. Some patients require computer navigation to ensure optimal fit. Once your surgeon is satisfied that the prosthesis fits properly it will be secured in place. Please not that only the world’s best and most preferred brand of prosthesis will be used to avoid any post-operation hitches. When your surgeon is ready to close the incision, a tube may be inserted to drain excess fluid.
All operations carry risks and total knee replacement is no exception. Risks vary according to your general health.
