Arthritis Of Knee Joint
Knee osteoarthritis is the most common form of osteoarthritis. In the first stage, symptoms are mild, but by the fourth, a person may need surgery.
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee affects the bones, the cartilage, and the synovium in the knee joint.
Cartilage is a slippery tissue that provides a smooth surface for joint motion and acts as a cushion between the bones.
Synovium is soft, and it lines the joints. It produces fluid, called synovial fluid, for lubrication, and it supplies nutrients and oxygen to the cartilage.
As these functions break down, they no longer protect the bones of the knee joint, and bone damage occurs.
Unilateral Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
Knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty. It can help relieve pain and restore function in severely diseased knee joints. The procedure involves cutting away damaged bone and cartilage from your knee joint and replacing it with an artificial joint (prosthesis) made of metal alloys, high-grade plastics and polymers.
The aim of Unilateral total knee replacement surgery is to relieve knee pain and increase knee function by resurfacing the bones that meet at the knee joint. The surgeon removes damaged portions of bone at the end of the femur and part of the tibia and replaces them with prosthetic components. Some surgeries also resurface the back of the patella or kneecap.
