Components used in Knee Replacement

 

During a total knee replacement all the natural compartments of a knee joint are replaced by the following components:
1) Femoral Component
2) Plastic Spacer
3) Tibial Component

All these parts are made of different materials i.e Metals and Plastics. The life of artificial knees has increased up to 30 years with the advancement of technology and using of newer materials.

Consult Dr. Biren Nadkarni, Senior Orthopedic Consultant, and Surgeon, to know more about components used in knee replacement surgeries. He will be available in person at his clinic - Joint & Bone Solutions situated at Hauz Khas, New Delhi as well as through online consultation. He can be reached at Sitaram Bhartia Institute and Holy Family Hospital also.

Total Knee Replacement in New Delhi

INNOVATIONS IN TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT

MINIMALLY INVASIVE

Knee replacement is a surgical procedure that decreases pain and improves the quality of life in many patients with severe knee arthritis. Typically patients undergo this surgery after, non-operative treatments (such as activity modification, anti-inflammatory medications or knee joint injections) have failed to provide relief of arthritic symptoms. There have been many advances in techniques, implant design, and manufacturing over the past 20 years. One of the current trends is the use of minimally invasive surgical techniques. Traditionally knee replacements were performed through 8- I 0-inch incisions. Currently, they can be safely performed using incisions 4-5 inches in length. The ability to perform the same operation through a smaller incision requires the use of modified instruments and some experience on the

Traditional total knee replacement

Traditional total knee replacement involves a roughly 8” incision over the knee and a hospital stay of 3-5 days. The recovery period (during which the patient walks with a walker or cane) typically P lasts from one to three months. The large majority of patients report substantial or complete relief of their arthritic symptoms once they have recovered from a total knee replacement. 

Minimally-invasive quadriceps-sparing total knee replacement

Minimally-invasive quadriceps-sparing total knee replacement is a new surgical technique that allows surgeons to insert the same time-tested reliable knee replacement implants through a shorter incision (4"-S" in length) using a surgical approach that avoids trauma to the quadriceps muscle (see figure). Quadriceps is the most important muscle group around the knee and this new technique is also called quadriceps-sparing knee replacement.

The main potential benefits of this new technique include: 

• More rapid return of knee function. Patients who go this procedure seem to get muscle strength and control back more quickly than patients who have had the traditional total knee replacement, often permitting patients to walk a cane within a couple of weeks of surgery or even earlier. 
• Smaller incision. While this procedure would not be worth performing for cosmetic benefits many patients do prefer the shorter incision. 
• Decreased postoperative pain. This may be a function of the smaller incision and the fact that the incision stays out of the important quadriceps muscle/tendon group. 
• Same reliable surgical implants as Traditional Knee Replacement. Minimally-invasive quadriceps-sparing total knee replacement is an evolution of surgical technique which permits the use of same

Joint Pain And Replacement Surgery

Joint Pain And Replacement Surgery

Every joint makes the connection with the Bone. Joints make the ability to move provides the support. Any injury or damage may lead to the pain in the joints i.e the joint pain. Knee pain was the most common complaint that may further lead to hip pain and the shoulder pain. And the Joint pain may affect any parts of the body. As become old, the joint pain may get increased. Arthritis is considered as a form of joint disorder that causes changes or the inflammation in one or more joints. The most common form of arthritis is degenerative arthritis (osteoarthritis). Generally, osteoarthritis is larger and smaller joints of the body such as hands, hip, and knee. The osteoarthritis is generally acquired because of the wear and tear of joints and may also due to the injury. Replacement Surgery includes the process of replacing the ends of both bones in a damaged joint to create new joint surfaces. Generally, the replacement surgery includes the joint replacement, knee replacement, shoulder replacement and hip replacement.

 

Joint Replacement Treatment:

The total joint replacement surgery involves the procedure to replace the ends of both bones in a damaged joint to create a new joint surface. Joint replacement is mainly done for pain relief. The surgery procedure includes the process of removing the painful and damaged joints and may be replaced with the plastic or the metal implants. The benefits of the Joint replacement is the smooth and improved functioning of the Joints. After the Joint replacement surgery, people can walk more easily and can play well.

Knee Replacement:

Knee replacement is done for the people over age 50 and also have severe osteoarthritis. During the Knee replacement surgery, the damaged part of the joint is getting removed or separated from the surface of the bone and the surface is then shaped to hold an artificial metal or plastic joint in order to make the knee more active. The knee replacement surgery may relieve the pain and disability that affecting the knee. The knee replacement can be performed as partial or total knee replacement.

Hip Replacement:

The hip replacement procedure is the surgical procedure in which the infected hip joint is get replaced with metal, ceramic, or plastic parts. Hip replacement can also be performed as a partial or total replacement. The hip replacement surgery may relieve the pain or the fractures. Hip replacement will relieve the pain and improves the hip function. Total hip replacement will replace the damaged cartilage with a new joint material.

 Shoulder replacement:

Shoulder replacement involves the surgical procedure in which the shoulder joints will get replaced with the ends of the damaged upper arm bone (humerus) and usually the shoulder bone (scapula) or cap them with artificial surfaces lined with plastic or metal and plastic. Shoulder replacement will relieve the shoulder pain and improves the functioning.
