Knee replacement provides dramatic pain relief for more than 90 percent of those who’ve undergone this surgery. Most of these procedures are done to replace knees damaged by osteoarthritis. The procedure was introduced in 1968. Total knee replacement is considered one of the safest and most effective procedures in orthopedics.
During a total knee replacement, a surgeon removes some bone and cartilage from the areas of your thigh bone and shin bone, where they meet at your knee joint. The surgeon then replaces the knee area of your thigh bone with a metal implant and the knee area of your shinbone with a plastic implant. This gives both bones of your knee joint smooth surfaces again so they can flex and bend more freely and painlessly. In many cases, the surgeon also replaces the undersurface of your kneecap with a plastic coating.
