Benefit from Knee Surgery?

Patients who are not morbidly obese and those with arthritis confined to a single compartment of the defective part are suitable for this type of procedure. This substitution is unsuitable for patients with marked stiffness in the area or significant angular deformity.

Some people feel that their new joint is not as flexible as their old one, but this is normal as an implanted joint is not as flexible as a healthy one.

The largest joint in our body is the knee joint and one of the most easily injured joints. It is made up of bone, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments.

Bones – They are 3 bones which meet at knee joint, femur (thigh bone), shine bone (tibia), and the knee cap (patella)

Cartilage –the ends of thigh bones and tibia and the back of the patella are covered with articular cartilage and it consists of a slippery substance that helps your knee to glide smoothly while bending and straighten your leg.
