• Knee, Joint replacement surgeon Indore

He knee joint can be thought of as a hinge joint
with the primary motion of straightening and
bending. In reality, it is more complex than a
simple hinge, as the surfaces actually glide and
roll upon one another. It is composed of the end
of the thigh bone (femur), the top of the leg
bone (tibia), and the kneecap (patella).
3
The ends of the bone are covered with a smooth,
glistening layer called articular cartilage. The
articular cartilage is what allows the bones to
glide smoothly with less resistance than ice
sliding on ice. The articular cartilage can be
seen on X-ray as the space in between the bones.
4
The knee can be thought of as having 3
compartments - the medial, the lateral, and the
patellofemoral. In addition, there are 2 special
cartilages within the knee joint called the
lateral and medial meniscus, which act as shock
absorbers within the knee joint. There are also 2
ligaments within the knee, called the anterior
cruciate ligament and the posterior cruciate
ligament, which contribute to knee stability.
Arthritis of the knee
Arthritis of the knee is a condition in which
there is loss of the articular cartilage of the
femur, tibia, or patella. This can be seen on
X-ray as a loss of the space between the two ends
of bone.
5
Because of the loss of the gliding surfaces of
the bone, people with arthritis may feel as
though their knee is stiff and their motion is
limited. Sometimes people actually feel a
catching or clicking within the knee. Generally,
loading the knee joint with activities such as
walking long distances, standing for long periods
of time, or climbing stairs makes arthritis pain
worse. When the arthritis has gotten to be
severe, the pain may occur even when sitting or
lying down. The pain is usually felt in the
inside part of the knee, but also may be felt in
the front or back of the knee. As the cartilage
is worn away preferentially on one side of the
knee joint, people may find their knee will
become more knock-kneed or bowlegged. Arthritis
of the knee usually occurs in people as they
enter their 60's-70's, but this is variable
depending upon factors such as weight, activity
level, and knee anatomy. Arthritis may be caused
by a variety of factors, including simple wear
and tear, inflammatory disorders such as lupus or
rheumatoid arthritis, infections, and
post-traumatic. People who have had prior injury
to their knee, damaging the meniscus or cruciate
ligament may also develop arthritis. The end
result of all these processes is a loss of the
cartilage of the knee joint, leading to bone
rubbing against bone.
