Types of Knee Replacement

• High Impact Knee Replacements
• Patients who get a total knee replacement are
  usually advised to avoid high-impact sports to
  preserve their new body part. But a new study
  suggests sport participation is not only safe. It
  may even help people gain better knee function.
• Gender specific knee replacement 
• Gender specific knee replacement entitles a
  special technique of knee replacement that
  implants are designed in a similar way, except
  that the "average" is different for a man's bone
  and a woman's bone. The idea behind doing this is
  that by better imitating the normal anatomy, the
  joint replacement implants may allow for better
  function, as well as improved durability.

Types of Knee Replacement

• Partial knee replacement 
• Traditionally, patients have undergone total
  knee replacement for serious arthritis of the
  knee joint. But now, the system changed, partial
  knee surgery or a uni -compartmental knee
  arthroplasty, is a surgery that may be considered
  for treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee
  joint. The advantage is that, here a small cut is
  made and recovery period is too fast.
• Rotating knee replacement 
• The rotating knee replacement install not
  only swing back and forth, but the knee can also
  rotate inwards and outwards. Because a normal
  knee joint rotates a small amount, the rotating
  knee replacements are projected to more closely
  imitate normal knee motion. This is one of the
  replacement techniques which will ensure both
  reliability and durability
