The knee joint is formed by the lower end of the thigh bone (femur) and the upper end of the shin bone (tibia). The knee cap (patella) sits in the tendon of the quadriceps muscle, which is connected to the tibia by the patella tendon. It forms a third joint with the femur. Arthritis is a degenerative condition of the cartilage on the surface of a joint. The cartilage normally provides a low friction, impact resistant, bearing that contributes to efficient pain free stability in posture and locomotion. High pressure or repetitive loading can damage cartilage, like any other tissue or material.
This is where the worn out surfaces of the bone that make up the knee joint are replaced with metal and plastic components. With the new joint it is the interlocking shapes of the metal and plastic replacements that give the knee its stability. The new joint aims to relieve pain and decrease stiffness, allowing you improved mobility and flexion within the knee.
