Common types of knee replacement surgery
Total knee replacement is the most common type of knee replacement surgery wherein the surgeon removes the surface of damaged bones (i.e., thigh bone and shin bone) and replaces them with an artificial implant.
- Partial knee replacement is also known as uni-compartmental knee replacement. It’s when the surgeon only replaces a part of the knee to keep as much of the original healthy bones and tissues as possible.
- Revision or complex knee replacement is when the patient is having a second or third joint replacement surgery on the same knee or if the patient’s arthritis worsens and causes major bone loss.
