Knee Joint Replacement
Knee joint replacement involves replacing part or
all of a knee joint that has been damaged or worn
away with a prosthesis - a new joint made of
metal and plastic.
The aim of a knee replacement is to reduce pain
from arthritis and improve function.

Types Of Knee Replacement
Knee replacements were first carried out in the
1940s and have developed significantly since
then. There are two types of knee joint
replacement 
1) Partial Knee Replacement
A partial knee replacement it where only part of
the joint is removed and replaced with a metal
and plastic prosthesis.
It is sometimes known as a Unicompartmental Knee
Replacement (UKR) or Unicondylar Knee
Arthroplasty. 
A partial knee joint replacement is most commonly
done on the inner side of the knee as that is the
most common part of the joint affected by
arthritis, and then the outer side.
If the arthritis is at the kneecap then the back
of the patellar and front surface of the thigh
bone are replaced - visit the patellofemoral
arthritis section to find out more.

2) Total Knee Replacement
With a total knee replacement, all the bone and
cartilage at the bottom of the thigh bone (femur)
and at the top of the shin bone (tibia) are
removed.
The entire joint is then replaced with a
prosthesis (implant) made of metal and plastic.
This procedure is also known as a TKR or Total
Knee Arthroplasty.
