Total Knee Replacement: What to Expect

Overview of the Procedure

  • Total knee replacement allows patients to start walking on the same day as the surgery, highlighting advancements in surgical techniques and recovery protocols.
  • The incision is made at the front of the knee, with careful manipulation of the kneecap to access the joint space effectively.
  • Surgeons trim away damaged cartilage and bone from both the femur and tibia, creating a stable surface for new implants.
  • Bone cement may be utilized to secure metal implants into place within the bones, ensuring stability and longevity of the prosthetic components.
  • A plastic spacer is inserted between metal parts to facilitate smooth movement and reduce friction during knee flexion.
