How common is total knee ligament replacement surgery?
There are 5 main types of knee replacement surgery: Total knee replacement. This is the most common form. Your surgeon replaces the surfaces of the thigh bone and shin bone that connects to the knee. Partial knee replacement. If arthritis affects only one side of your knee, this surgery may be a possibility. However, it’s only right for you if you have strong knee ligaments and the rest of the cartilage in the knee is normal. Partial knee replacement can be performed through a smaller cut than is needed for total knee replacement. Patellofemoral replacement. This replaces only the under-surface of the kneecap and the groove the kneecap sits in. This can be very effective for people with chronic kneecap arthritis. Complex (or revision) knee replacement. This procedure may be needed if you have very severe arthritis or if you’ve already had two or three knee replacement surgeries. Cartilage restoration: Sometimes when the knee only has an isolated area of injury or wear this area can be replaced with a living cartilage graft or cells which grow into cartilage.
Looking at the Reasons for Knee Replacement Surgery?
A person with a knee joint that has experienced damage or deterioration may be a suitable candidate for knee replacement surgery. Joints made of artificial material are used in this type of surgery to replace the damaged parts of the knee. There are several reasons why a person may need to have knee replacement surgery. Osteoarthritis is one well-known reason that prompts people to have knee replacement surgery. When a knee joint is in good condition, there is adequate cartilage that acts as a cushion between the bones of the knee. However, when a person develops osteoarthritis the cartilage in that area wears away over time. In short, the individual is left with the painful sensation of bones rubbing together. People with osteoarthritis should check with their doctor to see if they would benefit from knee replacement surgery. Another type of arthritis known as rheumatoid arthritis can also lead a person to seek knee replacement surgery. This condition also causes the cartilage on the bones of the knee to wear away gradually. Two symptoms of this condition are swelling and stiffness of the knees. Once again, a person experiencing these symptoms should check with his or her doctor. An athlete with a knee joint that has worn out due to strenuous use may need knee replacement surgery. Not surprisingly, athletes who have played sports for years may experience stiffness or swelling in their knees as they age. The cartilage protecting the bones in the knee has been worn down from intense pressure. An athlete in this situation may be able to relieve his or her symptoms with knee replacement surgery. A person who is extremely overweight for a long period of time may need to have knee replacement surgery. The continuous pressure put on the knee joint can cause the cartilage to wear away producing swelling and pain. The individual's doctor would be able to determine whether knee replacement surgery would be a wise choice. Knee replacement surgery has the capacity to relieve the swelling, stiffness, and pain in a person's knee. Finally, people who are concerned about this condition should make a list of pertinent questions for their doctor.
