Understanding the Different Types of Knee Replacement Implants

Understanding the Different Types of Knee Replacement Implants

People's bodies change as they age, and they begin to experience severe pain in various areas. Some people may experience knee pain, making it difficult for them to go about their daily lives. Normal pain can be managed with medications prescribed by doctors, as well as treatments such as physiotherapy, acupuncture, and so on. If the pain persists, your orthopedic doctors will recommend knee replacement surgery. Knee replacement is a surgical procedure that replaces the damaged knee joint with artificial components. These man-made components, known as implants, are made of metals and/or plastic. The doctor will either remove a portion of the knee joint or replace it entirely with surgical implants. Depending on the patient's condition, a partial or total knee replacement surgery may be performed. Knee pain is significantly reduced in patients who have had knee replacement surgery.

What are the various kinds of knee implants and knee replacement success rate?

For minimally invasive knee replacement surgery, several types of implants are used. The main distinction between these implants is whether the implant will replace the entire joint or just a portion of it. The most appropriate type of knee implants will be determined by a variety of factors such as ligament stability, bone and muscle condition, and any misalignments such as knocked knees, bow legs, and so on. The following are some of the most common types of knee implants used by orthopedic surgeons in knee replacement surgeries:

Non-constrained implants are inserted into the knee;

the upper and lower parts of the implant are not connected to each other. It is determined by the person's medial and lateral ligaments.

  • For stability, use the knee and muscles. In most knee surgeries, the ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) is removed prior to implant placement.
  • Semi-constrained implants: These are used when the Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) is unstable and must be removed. In this case, the two components of semi-constrained implants are joined together by a hinge to provide stability.
  • Constrained implants: These implants are used when the knee is extremely unstable; in this case, the upper and lower components are joined by a hinged mechanism. A long stem connects these implants to a bone on each side.
