Total Knee Replacement

Total Knee Replacement

Knee replacements is one of the most successful operations. It aims to relieve pain & improve function by replacing the existing destroyed bone surfaces of the knee

A total knee replacement helps relieve knee pain, restores knee functionality and corrects the position of the knee. After administering general anaesthesia, Dr Prenolin Kistnasami makes a cut over the skin of the knee in order to reveal the knee joint. Afterwards, he cuts into the affected parts of the femur bone at specific angles using specialised tools.

Next, Dr Prenolin Kistnasami connects the femoral piece to the bottom end of the femur, with or without using bone cement. He then shaves the damaged portion of the shinbone and the injured cartilage. By shaving away the damaged surfaces and bone spurs, Dr Prenolin Kistnasami can create a smooth, gliding surface to which he can attach the new implants.

The plastic insert, which enables the femur to glide over the tibia smoothly, can help stabilise your body’s weight. Then, the tibia, femur and prosthetic pieces are constructed to form the knee joint.
