Total Knee Replacement

Dr L H Hiranandani Hospital

A total knee replacement is a surgical procedure whereby the diseased knee joint is replaced with artificial material. The knee is a hinge joint that provides motion at the point where the thigh meets the lower leg. The thighbone (or femur) abuts the large bone of the lower leg (tibia) at the knee joint.

During a total knee replacement, the end of the femur bone is removed and replaced with a metal shell. The end of the lower leg bone (tibia) is also removed and replaced with a channeled plastic piece with a metal stem. Depending on the condition of the kneecap portion of the knee joint, a plastic “button” may also be added under the kneecap surface. The artificial components of a total knee replacement are referred to as the prosthesis.

The posterior cruciate ligament is a tissue that normally stabilizes each side of the knee joint so that the lower leg cannot slide backward in relation to the thighbone. In total knee replacement surgery, this ligament is either retained, sacrificed, or substituted by a polyethylene post. Each of these various designs of total knee replacement has its own particular benefits and risks.

Total Knee Replacement Treatment

Making The Knee Incision

The surgeon makes an incision across the front of your knee to gain access to the patella, more commonly referred to as the kneecap.

”Read-More”

In a traditional knee replacement, the incision is usually about 8 to 10 inches long.  In minimally invasive knee surgery, the incision is usually about 4 to 6 inches long. The jury is still out as to whether or not the pros of the smaller scar outweigh the cons of a smaller surgical area. Talk to your doctor about which procedure is right for you.

”Read-Less”

Rotating The Patella (Kneecap)

The first part of your knee that is exposed is your kneecap, called the patella. Once your knee is open, the surgeon rotates the patella outside

the knee area. This allows the surgeon to view the area needed to perform the surgical procedure.

Preparing The Femur (Thighbone)

The first bone your surgeon will resurface is your femur, commonly known as the thighbone. Once the surgeon has opened up and exposed

”Read-More”

your knee joint, he or she will carefully measure your bones and make precise cuts using special instruments. The damaged bone and cartilage from the end of the femur is cut away. The end of your femur is cut and resurfaced to fit the first part of the artificial knee, the femoral component.

Implanting The Femoral Component

The surgeon attaches the metal femoral component to the end of your femur and uses bone cement to seal it into place.

Preparing The Tibia (Shinbone)

The next bone your surgeon resurfaces is your tibia, or shinbone. The surgeon removes damaged bone and cartilage from the top of the tibia and then

shapes the bone to fit the metal and plastic tibial components.

Implanting The Tibial Component

The bottom portion of the implant, called the tibial tray, is fitted to the tibia and secured into place using bone cement.

”Read-More”

  Once the tray is in place, the surgeon will snap in a polyethylene (medical-grade plastic) insert to sit between the tibial tray and the femoral component, and act as a kind of buffer. This insert will provide support for your body as you bend and flex your knee.

Re-Adjusting The Patella

Before returning the patella to its normal position, the surgeon might need to flatten the patella and fit it with an additional plastic component in order

to ensure a proper fit with the rest of your implant. The plastic piece, if needed, is cemented to underlying bone. 

”Read-Less”

Finalizing The Procedure

Your surgeon will bend and flex the knee to ensure that the implant is working correctly, and that alignment, sizing, and positioning is suitable. To complete the procedure, the surgeon

”Read-More”

will close the incision with stitches or staples, and then bandage it and prep you for recovery. You may leave the operating room with your leg in a continuous passive motion (CPM) machine that will gently bend and flex your new knee for you while you are lying down.
