Total Knee Replacement

Total Knee Replacement Surgeon in Pune Dr. Hrushikesh Saraf Total knee replacement, or arthroplasty, is the relining of the joint (bone end surfaces) with artificial parts called prostheses. There are three components used in the artificial knee. This is the right place for total knee replacement surgery in Pune. The femoral (thigh) component is made of metal and covers the end of the thigh bone The tibial (shin bone) component, made of metal and polyethylene (medical-grade plastic), covers the top end of the tibia. The metal forms the base of this component, while the polyethylene is attached to the top of the metal to serve as a cushion and smooth gliding surface. The third component, the patella (kneecap) may be all polyethylene or a combination of metal and polyethylene. The new components are stabilized by your ligaments and muscles, just as your natural knee. In some cases, total knee replacement can be done through a smaller incision. This is called minimally invasive total knee replacement.

When we say old age then it is always above 60 years of age. But sometimes knee pain starts in early age. Reasons for early painful knee joint are genetic, post traumatic, long standing medial meniscus tear leading to cartilage damage, ligament injuries of knee, bad working habits etc. When such pain starts in early 50 's and only medial compartment is damaged, best option is unicondylar knee replacement. It preserves all ligaments of knee, allows all movements like sitting cross leg. Also small hospital stay (one day ), small incision, and practically returning to routine work by 15 days make this procedure really helpfull for those patients for whom total knee replacement is not the suitable surgery for their age . Almost 10 years followup data is available for this surgery and it is becoming as popular as total knee replacement .
