Knee Replacement in Madurai
Knee replacement
The knee prosthesis is the replacement of the superficial component of the joint. That which is removed is only the final part of the bone and is performed with the special masks, designed by engineers, that are applied on the bone surfaces.

Reasons for knee replacement
The most common cause of chronic knee pain and reduced function is osteoarthritis. Although there are many types of arthritis, the ones that most commonly cause knee pain are: osteoarthritis chronic senile, rheumatoid arthritis and post-traumatic osteoarthritis.
- Osteoarthritis -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 -This is a disease in which the synovial membrane surrounding the joint becomes inflamed and thickened. Chronic inflammation can damage the cartilage and cause the loss, which results in pain and stiffness.
- Post-traumatic osteoarthritis -This can follow a serious knee injury. Fractures of the bones surrounding the knee or broken knee ligaments over time can damage the articular cartilage, causing pain and limiting knee function.
