Prosthetic (artificial) knees are truly an amazing piece of biomedical engineering but they are far from perfect when it comes to matching the actual human knee joint. Most people think a knee joint is just an ordinary HINGE joint, flexing and extending as we walk and run, but it is really much more than that. The thing one has to first understand is that the overall design package of the human body and it's various organ and organ systems is one of amazing efficiency when it comes to using energy derived from food to do work. And one aspect of this is to require the knee joint to pivot slightly in addition to flexing and extending. It is this pivoting action that creates the 'klunk' sensation in prosthetic knees.

Can knee replacement get a cortisone shot?
I have often heard about cortisone injections as an alternative to knee replacement but it is un heard of to have injection after the knee replacement. What is the logic behind it? Usually injections are taken to subside the pain that arise from contact of arthritic articular surfaces of knee bones. But when knee replacement is already done I do not see a reason for cortisone injection. At the same time if there is sudden severe pain in your knee after replacement surgery doctor might give you a shot of knee injection. Another possibility is if you have partial knee replacement and non operated compartment of your knee joint troubling you. Hope it helps.
