Total Knee Replacement
The knee joint is a hinge joint with several compartments that are lined with cartilage. Each of these compartments is susceptible to degenerative changes caused by age-related wear and tear, previous trauma, or inflammatory conditions. A total knee replacement addresses the inner (medial) and outer (lateral) compartments, and may also address the patellofemoral compartment (in the front of the knee) The eroded joint surfaces are cut away and metal components are inserted, separated by a plastic liner.
