Full Knee Replacement Makes Mobility Restoration Possible

Full knee replacement may be considered for individuals experiencing significant knee joint pain and limited mobility due to arthritis. When osteoarthritis affects the entire knee joint, a full knee replacement can help improve movement by replacing the damaged joint surfaces with artificial components. This surgical procedure typically involves replacing the femur, tibia, and sometimes the kneecap. The full knee replacement procedure involves removing damaged cartilage and some underlying bone. Once prepared, prosthetic components—a femoral metal shell, a tibial tray with a plastic spacer, and sometimes a patellar component—are inserted. The knee’s alignment and function are thoroughly checked. Robotic assistance may be used to improve precision, but the surgeon remains in full control throughout the procedure.
