KNEE REPLACEMENT

Knee replacement surgery (arthroplasty) is a routine operation that involves replacing a damaged, worn or diseased knee with an artificial joint. Adults of any age can be considered for a knee replacement, although most are carried out on people between the ages of 60 and 80. More people are now receiving this operation at a younger age. A replacement knee usually lasts over 20 years, especially if the new knee is cared for properly and not put under too much strain.

KNEE ARTHROSCOPY

An arthroscopy is a type of keyhole surgery used both to diagnose and treat problems with joints. An arthroscopy involves the use of a device called an arthroscope to examine the joints. This is a thin, metal tube about the length and width of a drinking straw that contains a light source and a camera. Images are sent from the arthroscope to a video screen or an eyepiece, so the surgeon is able to see inside the joint.

REVISION KNEE REPLACEMENT

Over time, a knee replacement may fail for a variety of reasons. When this occurs, your knee can become painful and swollen. It may also feel stiff or unstable, making it difficult to perform your everyday activities.
