Knee replacement

A knee replacement (also called knee arthroplasty) might be more accurately termed a knee “resurfacing” because only the surface of the bone is actually replaced. This provides a smooth and low friction condition in which knee pain and stiffness are relieved and function is restored.

About the knee joint

The knee as the largest join in the body is required to perform most joint activities.

The knee is made up of the lower end of the thighbone (femur), the upper end of the shinbone (tibia) and the kneecap (patella). The ends of these three bones where they touch are covered with articular cartilage, a smooth substance that protects the bones and enables them to move easily.

Common reasons for a replacement

The most common cause of chronic knee pain and disability is arthritis. Although there are many types of arthritis, most knew pain is caused by just three types: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and post traumatic arthritis.

Symptoms may include:

- Stiffness, particularly in the morning or after a period of increased activity
- Inability to more a joint normally or walk a reasonable distance
- Recurring pain or tenderness
- Difficulties with activities of daily living that require bending your knee or squatting
