Total Knee Joint Replacement

Total Knee Joint Replacement

A total knee replacement replaces the surfaces of the knee with plastic and metal components. The femoral replacement is a smooth metal component which fits snugly over the end of the bone. The tibial replacement is in two parts, a metal base plate sitting on the bone and a plastic insert which sits between the metal base on the tibial and the femoral component. If necessary the patella surface (under the knee cap) is replaced with a plastic button which glides over the metal surface of the femoral replacement. However, the patella is occasionally satisfactory and may not require replacement.

The components are usually cemented to the bones in order to secure fixation. In certain circumstances special components may be “press fitted” to the bones without the additional use of cement.

Meniscus surgery (Meniscal repair with stem cells, PRP, Blood clot; Meniscal transplant)

Each knee has two menisci. They are commonly called “the cartilages”, although this is not strictly accurate. There is one on the medial (inner) side of the knee and one on the lateral (outer) side of the knee. They are C or crescent-shaped and serve to cup the femur as it sits on the tibia to improve the congruity of the joint. The main role of the meniscus is to spread the load being put through the two joint surfaces, thereby protecting the joint surface cartilage. In some ways they act as shock absorbers of the knee. They are made up of a tough gristly material called fibrocartilage.. A torn meniscus causes pain, swelling and stiffness. You also might have trouble extending your knee fully.
