Knee is one of the strongest joint present in humans and
this ball and socket joint connects the thigh bone (femur) with the shin bone
(tibia). There are numerous tendons that attaches the knee bones to the leg
muscles to move the knee joint, there are also ligaments which join the knee
bone and give support and stability to the knee. The knee joint is quite strong
but it can get damaged due to either injuries or diseases such as
osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or constant wear and tear of the
ligaments.
Knee surgery MiltonKeynes is done when the debilitating knee pain is not going away either by
taking the medicines or attending the therapy sessions. An orthopedic surgeon
is the qualified doctor who will analyze the condition of the patient and
perform either partial or total knee replacement or knee surgery. Knee joint is
constantly used by people every day either sitting down, standing up, running
or bending. The cartilage present in the knee can get damage and cause pain,
the damage can be a result of any injury, muscle tear or arthritis. The pain
restricts the function and movement of the knee making it difficult for person
to move his leg.
Knee surgery MiltonKeynes is a surgical operation in which the orthopedic surgeon surgically
removes the damaged part of the knee joint and replace it with an artificial
joint. The operation takes two hours and the artificial joint is made of
metallic and plastic components and is fixed with the knee bone using special
bone cement. After the surgery the patient is moved to a separate room and
asked to spend one or two days so that the artificial joint can properly adjust
and not cause any trouble in movement.
