Total Knee Replacement has another term as Total Knee Artrhoplasty. This is a surgical procedure, in which the damaged, diseased or worn knee joint is replaced with an artificial surface, after removing the original one. The knee replacement procedure is performed for relieving the disability and pain that are caused from the meniscus tears, cartilage defects, degenerative arthritis and ligament tears.

  • Wants to correct the leg deformity
  • Swelling or chronic knee inflammation that does not get relieved from the medication or rest

Knee

The knee in the human body is the largest joint present. It is much needed for the daily activities. Knee is made with the combination of upper end of shinbone, lower end of thighbone and kneecap. The network of these three bones is covered with a smooth substance called articular cartilage. This substance enables the bones to move easily and protect them. Wedges are present here and act just like a shock absorber and also help the joint to cushion.

Knee Pain

Knee pain or knee disability is generally caused from arthritis. There are many kinds of arthritis and out of them, the most of the pains are caused from rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and post traumatic arthritis.

Evaluation

The candidate is evaluated medically by the orhopaedic surgeon using various components.

  • Medical history of the candidate
  • Overall physical examination
  • X rays
  • Optionally, MRI scan

Further evaluations and preparations for the surgeries involve the tests like

  • Medical evaluation
  • Medications that are being taken presently
  • Urine and blood tests
  • ECG
  • Dental evaluation to evaluate the infection possibilities

Procedure

Total knee replacement surgery is performed in four basic steps.

    • Preparation of the bone

Preparation of the bone involves the removal of the cartilage surfaces that are damaged. These cartilage surfaces are removed from the ends of tibia and femur. Along with that, underlying bone is also removed in a small amount.

    • Positioning the metal implants

The bone and the cartilage that are removed would be replaced with a new metal component. The new metal component recreates the surface present over the joint. The metal parts replaced may be either press-fit or cemented and fixed into the bone.

    • Resurfacing the patella

The kneecap or patella that is present in the undersurface is cut. It then is resurfaces with a new plastic button. However, all the knee replacements do not need this resurface and the decision is made by the surgeons, based on the special conditions of the patient.

    • Insertion of a spacer

A spacer, which is made up of a medical grade plastic is inserted in between the components made of metal. These metal components are inserted for creating the surface that is smooth gliding.

Complications

The total knee replacement surgery is also associated with various complications, possibly just like any other surgery.

The complications are

  • Blood clots
  • Infections
  • Neurovascular injury
  • Continued pain
  • Implant issues

After the knee replacement surgery is completed, the patient needs to have a stay in the hospital for several days in the hospital. During the stay in the hospital, the patient is taken care in terms of pain management, blood clot prevention, physical therapy and prevention of pneumonia.

      I came to see the doctor in WHE and he introduced me to the stem cell treatment. They took the stem cells from my bone marrow and fat and he injected them and it has been fabulous. I don’t have the aches and pains that I used to suffer from on a constant day to day basis. I would highly recommend it to anybody who’s looking for a remedy to their back pain and their aching joints.

      WHE replaced both my hips and the result is nothing short of miraculous. I was back home after surgery in 2 days. Other than a small 3 inch scar, you would never know I had hip surgery.

The prescribed physical therapy returned me to full mobility within just a few weeks and allowed me to return to all of my pre-surgery sports and activities.

      I traveled to WHE who performed a minimally invasive mitral valve repair, making a two-inch incision through my right side and successfully fixing the leak. I was walking on my own the next day and left the hospital just two days later. It was such a positive experience. Everyone from the compassionate nurses and technicians who cared for me, to the welcoming environment.
