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

The Bones:

    • 1 : The Femur, or the thigh bone
    • 2 : The Tibia, or the leg bone
    • 3 : The Patella, or the knee cap
    • Partial Knee replacement
    In a subset of patients with arthritis, and in patients with early arthritis, only a particular compartment of the knee joint if affected. This is usually the medial or inner side.

    In such an individual, resurfacing of just the affected side can be undertaken. In a unicondylar knee replacement, the worn out cartilage only from the affected side is replaced by a new component.

    Compared to a total knee replacement, partial knee replacement offers :

    • Further reduction in post-operative pain
    • completely normal range of movement
    • ability to perform all activities, including sitting crossed legged and squatting
    • smaller incision and smaller scar
    • Faster return to normal life and activities
    • Shorter hospital stay
      • 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.
