I will tell you briefly about total knee arthroplasty or total knee prosthesis. It is the only treatment that is considered curative of wear and tear, because what is done is that the elements that create the inflammation and precisely the wear and tear are removed. Regarding the knee, what we do in surgery is to remove the cartilage and part of the bone to accommodate new components that will fulfill the functions of what we remove, which is normally in the femur, in the tibia and sometimes in the patella, which is the small bone that is in front of the knee. Like all surgery, it requires good planning, several types of studies to be able to see which are the types of cuts, the type of alignment and the balancing that needs to be done in the knee so that it is stable. If you have any doubts or questions, do not hesitate to send us a message or call us so we can answer them.
