Orthopaedic

You will first be given a general anesthesia which will put you to sleep temporarily, or you will be given a spinal or epidural anesthesia where you will feel numb below the waist. Then an 8 to 12 inch cut will be made in front of the knee. The part of the joint which is damaged will then be removed from the surface of the bones, and the surfaces will be shaped so that it can hold a plastic or a metal artificial joint. The artificial joint is then attached to the thigh bone, knee cap and shin. A special material or cement is used for this. When fixed together, the attached artificial parts form the joint. Ligaments and the surrounding muscles provide support and function to this joint.
