introduction

• Knee replacement is required when knee become
  painful and stiff due to degeneration of
  articular cartilage and altered biomechanics of
  the knee. One such condition is Osteoarthritis in
  which joint space is narrowed and obliterated
  and knee has a deformity with crackling sound on
  movements. By this procedure damaged articular
  surface is replaced with artificial joint along
  with correction of the deformity. Unicondylar
  knee replacement is performed in the patients
  with early osteoarthritis where only one
  compartment of the knee is involved there is no
  fixed deformity of the knee. Only damaged condyle
  is replaced. Revision knee replacement is
  performed when the previous knee replacement is
  causing trouble due to implant loosening, plastic
  wear, and infection or due to any other reason.
  Previous artificial knee is replaced with new one
  with extra features
