Total knee Replacement Surgery is the surface replacement of the diseased surfaces of the knee joint. The knee joint is made by the distal end of the femur (thigh bone), the proximal portion of the tibia (leg bone) and therefore the patella (knee cap). The joint cartilage is broken. Common conditions which lead to Knee Replacement Surgery are osteoarthritis (wear- and- tear of the joint), rheumatoid arthritis, post- traumatic arthritis etc. In total knee replacement the diseased surface of the joint is replaced by a metal element for the femur and a metal backed plastic for the tibia. The elements are mounted to the parent bone with bone cement.
