About Total Knee Replacement Surgery

• Knee Replacement Surgery also known as Knee
  Arthroplasty is a process to replace the weight
  bearing surfaces of the knee joint to relieve the
  pain. Knee replacement surgery can be performed
  for other knee diseases such as rheumatoid
  arthritis and psoriatic arthritis.
• Knee Replacement Surgery has been proven to help
  individuals return back to normal life and can do
  challenging activities like golf, bicycling, and
  swimming. Total knees are not designed for
  jogging, or sports like tennis and skiing
  (although there certainly are people with total
  knee replacements that participate in such
  sports).

When should anyone have Knee Replacement Surgery?

• A person would be considered a candidate for knee
  replacement surgery if there is
• Daily pain
• The pain is severe enough to restrict work,
  recreation and ordinary activities of daily
  living
• Significant stiffness in the knee
• Significant instability (constant giving way) of
  the knee
• Significant deformity (knock-knees or bow-legs)
  that hinders normal function of the knee
• Damage from arthritic conditions, such
  as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or
  post-traumatic arthritis

What are different types of Knee Replacement
Surgery?

• 1. Total Knee Replacement Surgery
• Total knee replacement surgery removes all weight
  bearing, damaged knee cartilage and bone and
  replaces it with a man made metal or plastic
  joint that tries to replicate the knee function.
  In total knee replacement surgery, a highly
  polished strong metal alloy replaces the femur
  portion of the knee joint a strong durable
  polymer tray replaces the tibia portion of the
  joint, and more plastic replaces the kneecap or
  patella. Total Knee Replacement Surgery usually
  takes 1.5 to 3 hours.

• 2. Partial Knee Replacement
• Partial knee replacement Surgery, or uni
  compartmental knee replacement Surgery, is the
  choice if only one part of the knee is severely
  damaged and requires replacement rather than the
  entire joint. An implant for either the femur
  portion, tibia portion or patella portion is
  surgically inserted through a smaller incision.
  If two or more sections of the knee are damaged,
  the partial knee replacement surgery may not be
  the best treatment choice. Hospital stays are
  generally shorter perhaps even overnight.

• 3. Minimally Invasive Knee Replacement
• Newer minimally invasive knee replacement
  surgery uses specific surgical techniques that
  allow a 3 to 5 inch incision rather than the
  standard 8 to 12 inch incision. The smaller
  incision provides for recovery with potentially
  less scar tissue formation, less pain, and a
  faster healing period. Hospital stays are from
  one to three days.

7

• 4. Revision Knee Replacement Surgery
• Revision knee replacement Surgery is for removing
  and replacing a prosthetic knee joint that is
  worn out. Revision knee replacement surgery can
  be repeated multiple times, but scar tissue
  formation from previous knee surgeries can make
  the procedure increasingly difficult with each
  replacement event.

• 5. Computer Assisted Surgery
• Knee replacement using computer assisted surgery,
  or CAS, is a computer-driven technology that uses
  computer guided imagery during surgery. The
  computer treats the alignment of the knee
  components during the surgical procedure and
  renders the alignment more accurate. The high
  level of accuracy may increase the longevity of
  the total knee replacement.
• 6. Bilateral Knee Replacement
• For the patients who have both knees equally
  affected by cartilage damage and decreased
  mobility, bilateral knee replacement surgery is
  an option. Both knees undergo any of the above
  mentioned knee replacement type surgeries at the
  same time.

How successful is the Knee Replacement Surgery?

• Knee replacement surgery is recognized as a
  miracle of modern surgery. Most orthopedic
  Surgeons consider replacement surgery to be the
  best method of handling arthritis in the knee.
  Knee replacements have literally put hundreds and
  thousands of humans back on their feet and
  allowed them to enjoy their golden years.
