4. Knee Pain & Knee Replacement Know Your Knee Your knee joint is the single largest and one of the most complex joints in your body. It has the most important role in providing you with the ability to carry your body weight and move around. The Knee Joint is made of three different bones, which are held together by various ligaments and accompanied by soft tissues, each of which has a different specific role to play

5. The Bones : 1 : The Femur, or the thigh bone 2 : The Tibia, or the leg bone 3 : The Patella, or the knee cap The Ligaments provide support and maintain these bones in their native places during all kinds of activities, whereas the menisci, which are thick disc like structures present in between the bones act mainly as shock absorbers. All the three bones which form the joint are further covered by a layer of tissue called as the Cartilage, which permits free and smooth movement between the bone surfaces. Due to its pivotal role in all kinds of activities of daily living, the knee is subjected to various stresses and injuries.

6. What is Arthritis ??? Arthritis is the result of a gradual degenerative process which goes on in the joint. This gradual ‘wear and tear’ eventually erodes the smooth lining of the joint this is the CARTILAGE. Loss of the cartilage lining leads to the bones rubbing against each other and consequently the symptoms of arthritis been to show and progress. http://pinnacleboneandjoint.com

9. Total knee Replacement Total knee replacement has emerged as a highly successful and beneficial surgical procedure in patients suffering from advanced arthritis of the knee joint. In a joint replacement surgery, the damaged surfaces of the knee joint are replaced by metal prosthesis (artificial joints) generally made of cobalt-chromium alloy or titanium. Metallic prosthesis glides over a polyethylene bearing. With the use of latest surgical techniques patients are offered a pain free, and normal range of movement enabling them to continue with their routine activities The right decision about choice of an appropriate prosthesis for a particular patient is made by the treating surgeon in consultation with the patient, best suited to the patient’s knees and demands.

10. Computer Assisted & Space Suit Technology

11. During computer-assisted surgery, a model of the knee is developed using information taken from a special instrument that outlines the contour of the knee. An infrared camera attached to a computer sees signals from this instrument. The computer then develops a model of the knee. This image is projected onto a monitor and helps guide the surgeon's attachment of the artificial implant to the bone. Along with the surgeon's skill and experience, CAS provides an internal view for more precise alignment of the implant, which can contribute to the long-term success of the total knee replacement. Computer-assisted surgery is available for all total knee replacement surgeries but is best used for difficult cases like knock-kneed or bow-legged deformities. After surgery, patients are usually in the hospital for about five days. Rehabilitation begins in the hospital and will continue at home. Patients usually use crutches or a walker for about six weeks
