Knee Joint Replacement
Knee replacement surgery is really a cartilage replacement. The knee itself is not replaced, only the cartilage on the ends of the bones. Knee replacement implants include a metal alloy on the bottom of the thighbone and polyethylene (plastic) on the top of the tibia and underneath the kneecap. The implant is designed to create a new, smoothly functioning joint that prevents painful bone-on-bone contact. Your surgeon may elect to replace all or part of your knee, depending on your condition and the extent to which your knee is affected by arthritis.
Hip Joint Replacement
Hip replacement surgery removes the arthritic ball of the upper femur (thighbone) as well as the damaged cartilage from the hip socket. The ball is replaced by a metal or ceramic ball that is solidly fixed to a stem inserted into the femur. The socket is replaced with a metal cup, which is fixed to the acetabulum, or socket.
Elbow Replacement
The elbow joint consists of three compartments (humerus, ulna, and radius) that provide two types of motion. The humerus and the ulna allow for hinge-type motion. The humerus and the radius provide rotational motion. The joint surfaces are covered by cartilage, providing a cushion between the bones. The cartilage can become damaged by various events, including fracture, osteoarthritis, and inflammatory or rheumatoid arthritis. When rheumatoid arthritis is present, the cartilage is not being provided with enough lubrication and nourishment. This leads to loss of motion and pain in the elbow.
