STEPS OF YOUR KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY

STEP 1
Your surgeon makes an incision on the front of your knee to see the joint.

STEP 2
They remove the affected bone and cartilage surfaces from the upper and lower leg bones.

STEP 3
Your surgeon uses templates to prepare your affected knees for the new implant.

STEP 4
They then use a test implant to check for the correct fit, size, stability, and range of motion.

STEP 5
Your surgeon first attaches an implant to your thigh bone, then to your shin-bone and then puts a plastic insert between them to make sure they can glide over each other without friction.

STEP 6
The backside of the kneecap may also need to be replaced depending on how far the cartilage damage has advanced.

STEP 7
Finally, after the last test of stability and motion, your surgeon fixes the joint in place, closes the wound and applies a pressure bandage.
