  3. Anatomy of the Knee

  4. Knee Stabilizers • Medial • Lateral • Anterior • Posterior • Rotatory

  5. Common Conditions That Lead ToT K R 01 Osteoarthritis Primary (idiopathic) i Secondary Post traumaticarthritis ii 02 RheumatoidArthritis

  6. Knee Arthritis • FarmorecommonthanhipOAinAsianpopulation • Age: 80% above 75years • Genders: Equal in both genders up to 45-55 years. After 55 years • more common infemales

  7. Risk Factors of Osteoarthritis • Increasing age • Obesity • Females • Trauma • Infection • Repetitive OccupationalTrauma

  8. Clinical Features OfOsteoarthritis • Depends upon the stage of involvement • Pain • Loss of Function • Stiffness • Swelling • Deformity • Crepitus

  9. Non Operative Treatment • Non-pharmacologictherapy • Patient’seducation • Use of assistivedevices • Weightloss • Physicaltherapy • Occupationaltherapy • Pharmacologictherapy • NSAIDS • Glucosaminesulphate • Intra articularCorticosteroids • Intra articular Hyaluronicacid

  10. OperativeTreatment • Arthroscopy • Osteotomy • Knee replacementsurgery

  11. Osteotomy

  12. KneeReplacement • Total kneereplacement • Partial kneereplacement

  13. Evolution of TKR • Fergussen (1860) resectionarthroplasty • Verneuilperformed first interpositionarthroplasty • 1940s- first artificial implants were tried whenmoldswere fitted in thefemoral condyle • 1950s- combined femoral and tibialarticular surface replacement appeared as simplehinges

  14. Evolution of TKR (count) • Frank Gunston (1971), developed a metal on plastic kneereplacement. • John Insall (1973), designed what has become the prototypeforcurrenttotalkneereplacements.This was a prosthesis made of 3components which would resurface on all the three surfaces of the knee – the femur, tibia andpatella

  15. Classification of Implants Design • Unconstrained • Cruciateretaining • Cruciatesubstituting • Mobile bearingknees • Constrained(Hinged)

  16. Total Knee Replacement Today • Large variety isavailable • Majority of TKRstoday are condylar replacements which consist of thefollowing: • Cobalt-chrome alloy femoralcomponent • Cobalt-chrome alloy or titanium tibialtray • UHMWPE tibialbearingcomponent • UHMWPE patellacomponent

  17. Who Is A Candidate For TKR? • Quality of life severelyaffected • Dailypain • Restriction of ordinaryactivities • Evidence of significant radiographic changes of the knee

  18. TimeFor Replacement • Old age with moresedentary life style • Young patients who have limitedfunctions • Progressivedeformity • Other treatment modalities havefailed • TKRsshouldbedonebeforethingsgetoutofhandsand the patient experiences a severe decrease in ROM,deformity, contracture, joint instability or muscle atrophy

  19. Evaluation Of Patient Before Surgery • A Complete MedicalHistory • Thorough PhysicalExamination • LaboratoryWork-up • AnesthesiaAssessment

  20. Goal of TKR • Painrelief • Restoration of normal limbalignment • Restoration of a functional rangeofmotion

  21. Successful Results Depends upon: • Precise surgicaltechnique • Sound implantdesign • Appropriatematerial • Patient compliance withrehabilitation

  22. Technical Goals Of TKR Surgery • The restoration of mechanicalalignment. • Preservation (or restoration) of thejoint line, • BalancedLigaments • MaintainingorrestoringanormalQangle.

  23. Mechanical Alignment TKA aims at restoring the mechanical axis of the lower limb by: Sequential soft tissue releases Correction of bone defects by grafts or prosthetic augments

  24. Ligament Balancing • a. CoronalPlane • For varusdeformities’ • For valgusdeformities • b. SagittalPlane • Flexioncontractures • Extensioncontractures

  25. Post-OperativeRehabilitation • Rapidpost-operativemobilization • Range of motion exercisesstarted • CPM • Passive extension by placing pillow underfoot • Flexion-bydanglingthelegsoverthesideofbed • Muscle strengtheningexercises • Weightbearingisallowedonfirstpostopday
