Orthopedic surgery?

2. Knee Arthroplasty
A surgery is definitely painful. A surgery
on the knee is even more difficult.
Going through the entire process would
really make you direful and less
energetic.
But, understanding the importance of
surgery is as important as knowing
about the process behind the
orthopedic surgery.
So, here you are at the right place to
know about the knee Arthroplasty in
orthopedic surgery.

3. What is Orthopedic Surgery?
This is a surgery involved with the musco
skeletal system in the body. The ability to
move your muscles, bones and your body is
presented to you by this system. So, any
trauma or damage to any part of this system
should be treated immediately as it may lead
to unimaginable circumstances.
For treating these traumas, the surgery which
is done is called as orthopedic surgery. The
majority of the problems faced are sports
injuries, tumors, infections, spine diseases and
few other congenital disorders. With this being
said, let us look at the most common
treatment procedures done by surgeons and
experts in this field to treat this.

4. Most Common Treatment Procedure
Involved:
There are many ways involved in this. However,
the main three most common procedures
involved in this treatment are –
•Meniscectomy – this procedure removes the
meniscus part of the join in the muscoskeletal
system.
•Another fact about this procedure is that it is
specially done at the time of knee surgery or cases
relating to knee injury.
•Arthroscopy – this was implemented to perform
surgery of cartilage and the restoration of torn
tissues.
Arthroplasty – the system of osteotomy is
followed in this type of surgery where the
articular surface of the joint is aligned.
This is especially for the damage caused by the
arthritis and done to give function to the join after
damage.

5. Knee Arthroplasty in Orthopedic Surgery:
This is also called knee joint replacement
where agonizing pain is experienced in the
knee joints. Such pain may be noticed at a
point where you would be doing activities
involving high pressure on the knee joints and
parts.
This may be due to the severe effect of
arthritis affecting your muscular regions.
Sometimes, this surgery is also performed on
the need of correcting various deformity and
mild valgus. It is also notable that certain
physical therapies may help in reducing the
pain and delay the need for having a knee
replacement surgery.

6. Knee Joint Replacement
Knee Joint Replacement is a surgical procedure where the
damaged knee of the patient is replaced by the artificial one
(prosthesis) made of plastic or metal components by the surgeon.
When the patient has been suffering for long due to have severe
knee pain and is unable to walk or jog. He is feeling stiffness in his
knee and not able to even climb up the stairs.
He needs medical assistance instantly. The doctors preferable
suggest some medication and necessary vaccinations to provide
instant relief to the patient but when all the prescribed treatments
are unable to help the patient in his knee pain. The only option
remains with the doctor is to undergo knee replacement surgery
for the patient. However, the age and health condition of the
patient is examined before proceeding knee replacement surgery.

7. So, the process involved in knee
Arthroplasty would be –
Excessive hair at the surgical area is removed
and the anesthesiologist makes keen
observations on your heart rates, blood
pressure and oxygen levels. It is obvious that
you would be given anesthesia before the
operation and made to lie down on the
operating table.
Antiseptic solution is applied on the area
where surgery is yet to be done and the chief
doctor makes the incision.
As the incision is made, the doctor removes
the damaged part and the knee joint is
resurfaced with prosthesis. This is mostly
made of metal, plastic and the common type
of prosthesis, which is recommended by most
doctors and surgeons, would be a cemented
one.

8. Crucial Part
After this, the slit in the body would be
closed with stitches and required
procedures like placing safe drains for the
fluids to fall and dressing of wounds is
done.
The crucial part after this would be the
stay at hospital for a few days where you
kept under observation and taken for
regular walks until you are perfectly set
on walking and moving with the
prosthesis.
Therefore, this is all about the total knee
replacement or knee Arthroplasty under
the orthopedic surgery.
