  • Patient Education Total Knee Arthroplasty
    Patient Education Total Knee Arthroplasty Explanation of Diagnosis and Procedure The knee is the largest joint in the body. Normal knee function is required to perform most everyday activities. The knee is made up of the lower end of the thighbone (femur), which rotates on the upper end of the shin bone (tibia), and the kneecap (patella), which slides in a groove on the end of the femur. Large ligaments attach to the femur and tibia to provide stability. The long thigh muscles give the knee strength. Normal Knee Anatomy The joint surfaces where these three bones touch are covered with articular cartilage, a smooth substance that cushions the bones and enables them to move easily. Medical Illustration © 2012 Nucleus Medical Media, Inc. All remaining surfaces of the knee are covered by a thin, smooth tissue liner called the synovial membrane. This membrane releases a special fluid that lubricates the knee, reducing friction to nearly zero in a healthy knee. Normally, all of these components work in harmony. But disease or injury can disrupt this harmony, resulting in pain, muscle weakness, and reduced function. Knee with Arthritis The most common cause of chronic knee pain and disability is arthritis. Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and traumatic arthritis are the most common forms of this disease. • Osteoarthritis usually occurs in people 50 years of age and older and often in individuals with a family history of arthritis. The cartilage that cushions the bones of the knee softens and wears away. The bones then rub against one another, causing knee pain and stiffness. • Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease in which the synovial membrane becomes thickened and inflamed, producing too much synovial fluid that overfills the joint space.

Knee replacement is a form of arthroplasty that includes the surgical replacement of the knee joint with a prosthesis. Prosthesis refers to an artificial device used to replace a structural element within a joint to improve and enhance function. Total knee replacement involves surgical reconstruction or replacement of the entire knee joint as a result of unicompartmental, bicompartmental, or tricompartmental involvement. Partial knee replacement involves surgical reconstruction or replacement of one joint surface of the knee joint as a result of unicompartmental (e.g., medial, lateral, or patellofemoral)
