Exploring the Various Types of Knee Replacement Surgery

Exploring the World of Knee Replacement Surgery: Types and Options

Knee pain can significantly impact one's quality of life, limiting mobility and causing discomfort. When conservative treatments like medication and physical therapy prove ineffective, knee replacement surgery becomes a viable option. There are several types of knee replacement surgery, each designed to address specific issues and patient needs. In this blog, we'll delve into the various types of knee replacement surgery to help you better understand your options and make an informed decision about your healthcare.

1. Total Knee Replacement (TKR)

Total Knee Replacement, or TKR, is the most common and well-known type of knee replacement surgery. It's typically performed when all three compartments of the knee joint (medial, lateral, and patellofemoral) are affected by osteoarthritis or other conditions. During a TKR, the damaged joint is removed and replaced with an artificial joint made of metal, plastic, or a combination of both. The procedure aims to restore the natural movement and function of the knee.

2. Partial Knee Replacement (PKR)

Partial Knee Replacement, or PKR, is an option when only one or two compartments of the knee are damaged. This procedure is less invasive than a TKR because it preserves healthy bone and tissue. Patients undergoing a PKR generally experience a faster recovery, less post-operative pain, and better range of motion in the affected knee. It's essential to consult with a surgeon to determine if you're a suitable candidate for PKR based on the location and extent of your knee damage.

3. Bilateral Knee Replacement

Some individuals may require knee replacement surgery in both knees due to extensive damage in both joints. Bilateral Knee Replacement involves replacing both knees in one or two surgeries, depending on the patient's health and surgeon's recommendation. It's crucial to carefully evaluate the pros and cons of this approach, as it may extend the recovery period and require thorough post-operative rehabilitation.

4. Revision Knee Replacement

While knee replacement surgeries are generally successful, they may wear out or fail over time, necessitating a revision knee replacement. Revision surgery is more complex than primary replacements and typically involves removing and replacing worn-out components or addressing other issues such as infection, instability, or bone loss. Surgeons use specialized techniques and implants during revision surgery to ensure the best possible outcome for patients.

5. Custom Knee Replacement

Custom Knee Replacement, also known as Patient-Specific Instrumentation (PSI), is an innovative approach to knee surgery. It involves the use of advanced imaging and computer technology to create customized cutting guides and implant components tailored to each patient's unique anatomy. Custom knee replacements aim to improve the accuracy of implant positioning, potentially leading to better outcomes and faster recovery times.

6. Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement

Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement combines the precision of robotic technology with the skills of a skilled orthopedic surgeon. During this procedure, the surgeon uses a robotic arm to assist in precise bone cuts and implant placement. The robotic system provides real-time feedback and enhances the surgeon's ability to optimize the implant's alignment and positioning. This advanced technology is gaining popularity as it offers a high level of precision and potentially reduces the risk of complications.

7. Minimally Invasive Knee Replacement

Traditional knee replacement surgery involves a relatively large incision and more extensive tissue disruption. In contrast, Minimally Invasive Knee Replacement is performed through smaller incisions and with less soft tissue trauma. This approach often results in less pain, a quicker recovery, and reduced scarring. However, it may not be suitable for all patients, depending on the complexity of their knee condition.

8. Gender-Specific Knee Replacement

Research has shown that there are differences in the anatomy and biomechanics of male and female knees. Gender-Specific Knee Replacement takes these differences into account by offering implants designed to better match the anatomy of the patient's gender. These specialized implants aim to provide improved comfort, stability, and long-term outcomes for patients.

Conclusion

Knee replacement surgery is a life-changing procedure that can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals suffering from knee pain and arthritis. The choice of the most suitable type of knee replacement surgery depends on several factors, including the extent of joint damage, the patient's overall health, and the surgeon's expertise. It's essential to consult with a qualified orthopedic surgeon who can evaluate your condition and recommend the most appropriate approach for your specific needs.

You can make an informed decision about your treatment if you understand the various forms of knee replacement surgery and their advantages and downsides. Remember that, regardless of the type of knee replacement surgery you choose, post-operative rehabilitation and a dedication to a healthy lifestyle are critical to the success of your operation. To determine the best course of action for your specific circumstance, always check with your healthcare professional.

What Is The Difference Between Partial And Total Joint Replacement

Partial joint replacement and total joint replacement are two types of surgery to treat arthritis. Partial is used when only a part of a joint needs to be replaced, while the total is used when an entire joint needs to be replaced. In this article, we will discuss the difference between partial and joint replacement surgery in kenya as well as their pros and cons so that you can make an informed decision about which type of surgery is best for you.

Partial joint replacement

Partial joint replacement surgery in kenya, also known as uni-compartmental knee surgery is a surgical procedure to replace the damaged surface of the knee. Partial joint replacement is used when only a part of a joint needs to be replaced.

Partial joint replacement is also generally used when only one side of the joint needs to be replaced.

Partial joint replacement can be done on one side of the joint at a time. For example, if you have arthritis in your right knee and need to have it replaced, your doctor might recommend partial knee replacement for either your left or right side first, depending on which side is more severely damaged by arthritis and pain.

If successful with this surgery (which often depends on how well-aligned your bones are), then partial knee replacements may eventually be performed on both sides together at once—this procedure is called "unicompartmental arthroplasty", meaning it involves replacing just one compartment within an entire area around both knees (the medial or lateral compartments).

Total joint replacement

Total joint replacement is used when an entire joint needs to be replaced. It can be used to treat arthritis, osteoarthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis.

Total knee replacement is commonly performed on the knee and involves replacing both the thigh bone (femur) and lower leg bone (tibia). This may be done for severe arthritis of the knee that causes pain, stiffness, and loss of function in activities like walking up stairs.

Total hip replacement is commonly performed on the hip joint and involves replacing both parts of a damaged hip socket with artificial plastic or metal parts called prostheses.

Hip replacement surgery is usually done when other treatments fail due to advanced osteoarthritis pain or disability caused by wear-and-tear degeneration of the hip joint over time.

Partial and total joint replacement are two types of surgery. Partial is used when only a part of a joint needs to be replaced, while the total is used when an entire joint needs to be replaced.

Both types of surgery are done to relieve pain, allow the patient to move more easily and improve their quality of life.

Conclusion

Both partial and total joint replacement surgeries are effective ways to relieve pain and improve mobility. However, the two procedures have different benefits and risks. Total joint replacement surgery in kenya and back pain treatment in kenya can be performed faster than a partial joint replacement, but it carries more risk of complications.

Partial joint replacement may take longer than total joint replacement but is less invasive with fewer complications

tonight - adam du mortain x f!detective (twc)

day 15 - single

author’s note: @keybleminded suggested the single bed trope for this prompt and this is what i came up with; sorry that it’s a little less fluffy than i originally intended. i hope you all enjoy!

copyright: all characters, except my oc detective, are owned by mishka jenkins @seraphinitegames. series/pairing: the wayhaven chronicles – adam du mortain x f!detective (regina bishop) rating/warnings: 16+; teeny tiny angst, one bed trope, implied drugging word count: 1.6k based on/prompt: day 15 – single from #28dateswithunitbravo challenge by @wayhavenmonthly summary: the night before a recon mission, farah and regina get into a little bit of trouble and adam keeps regina company through the night.

tonight

farah ran into the room and jumped on to the full-sized bed in the room, which was just big enough to be comfortable for two people, if those two people were willing to get cozy. it was the only decent thing in the very small hotel room, besides the small television, and regina was thankful they only needed to spend one night here. tomorrow morning, they would scout out the supposed rendezvous site and hopefully be back in wayhaven by nightfall.

regina sighed and put her duffel bag on the floor before taking off her coat. “i can’t believe there’s only one bed. didn’t adam fill out the paperwork?”

“why, you wishing he was here instead so you could cozy up on the only bed in the room like in the movies?” farah teased, slipping her shoes off and making herself comfortable.

regina rolled her eyes. “like that would ever happen. you all don’t need to sleep, remember? adam would just say i should take the bed because i need the rest while he stays up and keeps watch ‘for my protection’,” she said, using air quotes to emphasize her point.

“that was a great adam impression! it’s too bad you’re not into me, because i would totally pretend it was really cold and we needed to cuddle to keep warm,” farah winked.

“well it actually is pretty cold, so you wouldn’t have to pretend. and we could still cuddle if you want,” regina offered, chuckling.

farah sighed loudly. “not in the way that i know you want to with adam,” she chuckled at the flush that started creeping up regina’s neck before her gaze fell on a flyer placed carefully on the nightstand.

“can we go to this?”

regina skimmed the flyer that farah handed to her. “we’re supposed to get up early tomorrow. i don’t know if going out tonight is a good idea.”

“but it’s singles night! i’ve never gotten to go to one of these before,” farah pleaded, even as she started rummaging through their duffel bags for a more appropriate outfit.

the pros and cons ran through regina’s mind. on the one hand, it would be a chance to relax a little before the mission and distract herself from thinking about adam for a bit. on the other, they could be putting the mission at risk by potentially not being rested for tomorrow or exposing themselves unintentionally.

“i’ve never seen you wear this,” farah said, holding up a shimmery gold draped halter top with thin straps. “let’s go!”

why had she even packed that for an overnight mission? farah tossed it at her and motioned for her to go get changed.

back at the warehouse

the grandfather clock in the warehouse living room ticked loudly in the otherwise quiet space. the other members of unit bravo were enjoying their brief reprieve from farah’s usual antics. nate was reading on the couch and morgan was silently blowing smoke rings from her usual corner.

on any other night, he would be thoroughly enjoying a quiet evening to catch up on paperwork and otherwise relax. he kept telling himself it was a simple recon mission, the type they executed seamlessly numerous times. farah was the best for this type of mission and he trusted her to get regina out of any dangerous situations.

but for some reason, the quiet of the evening was still too loud for him.

he gripped the pen even tighter until the plastic was just on the edge of cracking, bending against even less than a tenth of his strength.

he missed the hum. there was a palpable energy that seemed to emanate from regina that touched anyone in her vicinity wherever she went. an energy that relaxed as often as it moved and matched the steady hum of her heartbeat.

a sound he sorely missed.

adam froze at the revelation, his body as still as the air, except for the crack of the pen as it snapped in half. the sound was quickly muffled by the harsh ring of his phone, jolting him back to the moment. farah’s name flashed across the tiny screen, fear filling his stomach in a way that was becoming all too familiar.

“i will be right there,” he growled into the phone after less than a minute.

nate looked up from his book. “is everything all right? do you need us?”

“no, i will handle it,” adam said firmly, grabbing his coat on the way out.

* * * * * it didn’t take long for adam to find them. even if he didn’t have regina’s scent and heartbeat memorized even more than farah’s (the fleeting thought made his brow furrow), the ruckus they were causing outside the bar would alert anyone to their location.

he sighed and made his way over to where farah was holding up a very drowsy regina, who could barely stand on her own, which he partially blamed on the impractical heels she was wearing and the icy snow on the ground.

“adam, thanks for coming. i think our detective here is going to need to get to bed,” farah said slyly, a mischievous twinkle in her eye that made adam groan inwardly.

he let his gaze wander up and down regina’s body for a fraction of a second longer than necessary to assess her physical well-being, which he knew would not go unnoticed by farah. he tucked one arm under her knees and let farah place regina’s upper body on his other arm so he could carry her, shifting her head to lean against his shoulder.

they made their way back to the hotel room, with heightened speed, farah quickly getting regina changed and comfortable while adam scanned the perimeter.

“what happened?” he asked quietly, once regina was tucked under the covers.

farah sighed. “we went to a singles night event at the bar and she got a lot of attention. i think someone may have tried to drug her. she didn’t have that much to drink when she started feeling dizzy.”

adam pressed his lips into a thin line in an attempt to keep his stoic mask in place. “is she alright?”

“she’s had a lot of water and should be able to sleep it off,” farah fidgeted with the ends of her scarf. “i’m sorry adam; it was my idea to go out and—”

“this is not your fault, farah. you are not to be blamed for inconsiderate fools who would drug and take advantage of someone,” he said softly, putting a hand on her shoulder and farah found only sincerity in adam’s gaze. “at least regina—i mean, the detective, is fine. we can postpone the mission.”

“actually, about that – the site we were going to observe tomorrow is the bar,” farah explained. “it’s definitely a supernatural gathering place and there’s something in the basement. there’s not much more we can uncover without proper surveillance equipment.”

adam nodded. “good work. we’ll report back to agent bishop in the morning then. in the meantime, get some rest. i will keep watch.”

a thoughtful look passed through farah’s face before being replaced by a mischievous one. “actually, i think i will head back to the warehouse and you can keep the detective warm,” she said, zipping around the room and packing up her things before adam could protest.

“the thermostat’s broken and she’s shivering like crazy. you wouldn’t want her to catch cold, would you?” farah teased, hovering by the doorway.

adam opened his mouth to say something before promptly closing it. he glanced over at regina’s form under the duvet, and he could tell that farah was right. she was shivering, her body trying to process and expel whatever the toxin was.

he groaned and rubbed his face before giving a resigned nod, unlacing his combat boots one by one and sitting carefully on the other side of the bed.

“i’m pretty sure whatever is in her system will keep her from remembering anything in the morning, so you can let your guard down a little. i won’t tell anyone,” farah said, giving him a sympathetic smile before disappearing and locking the door behind her.

adam sighed and shifted closer to regina, carefully laying on top of the covers so as not to disturb her and maintain some space between them. he frowned at the sight of her shivering and curled up into a ball, arms wrapped tightly around her shoulders.

it was his duty to keep the detective safe. it was natural that he be concerned for her well-being as a member of his team.

he hovered his hand close to her cheek, his thumb ghosting over her pale skin. she let out an almost inaudible moan, her shoulders shaking against the thick duvet.

he needed to find a way to warm her up. he snaked his arm around her waist, tucking one end of the duvet under her body and rolling her on top of his chest, effectively rolling her up in the covers. her head lay on his heart, and he hoped the sound of his heartbeat drumming against his ribcage loudly wouldn’t wake her up.

she let out a contented sigh that tickled his chin and he brought his other arm to her side, rubbing soothing circles up and down her arm and side to warm up her body. her shivering subsided as he did so, her breathing returning to its normal pace.

he closed his eyes and allowed the flutter in his chest to expand, the scent of her surrounding him fully.

just for tonight, he would relish being this close to her.

and in the morning, he would tell himself it was purely for her well-being and nothing else.

Five scientifically proven new treatments that mean joint agony doesn't have to end in surgery

New Post has been published on https://cialiscom.org/five-scientifically-proven-new-treatments-that-mean-joint-agony-doesnt-have-to-end-in-surgery.html

Five scientifically proven new treatments that mean joint agony doesn't have to end in surgery

Patients are waiting longer than ever for surgery to replace worn-out joints. Cash-strapped NHS trusts are increasingly refusing, cancelling or delaying operations, and last week health chiefs admitted the 18-week treatment target will no longer be met.

Although 160,000 hip, knee and ankle replacements are carried out each year in Britain, it is only the most desperate people who are offered a procedure. 

To make matters worse, doctors often have little to offer beyond painkillers or injections of anti-inflammatory steroid drugs.

The situation can feel hopeless. But the reality is certainly not. These days, there are numerous medically proven alternative treatments that will end discomfort and immobility, and could even spare some patients from a joint replacement.

Patients in Britain are waiting longer than ever for surgery to replace their worn-out joints

‘Joint-replacement surgery can eliminate pain, improve mobility and restore quality of life, but it is not the only option,’ explains Mark Wilkinson, Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Sheffield and a spokesman for Arthritis Research UK.

‘Surgery carries risks and if you’re under 50 and active, the likelihood is that you’ll need another replacement later. So it is worth exploring other treatments that can delay or even eliminate the need for surgery.’

So what are the options for those who can’t have or are waiting for a joint operation, or don’t want to go under the knife? The good news is there are a host of treatments and procedures available to treat pain and improve mobility.

REALIGN THE KNEES WITH A ‘ROBOCOP’ LEG BRACE

How to make sure you get the best treatment

– First visit your GP. They will have access to your records and will help you find out whether the treatment is suitable and available.

– Bring this article to show them if you feel one of these treatments might work for you.

– If a treatment isn’t available in your area, you can be referred elsewhere. Search online and ask healthcare professionals before revisiting the GP.

– A consultant may decide that the treatment is not suitable for you. They should explain why and suggest an alternative.

– You are not legally entitled to a second opinion but doctors should always honour the request.l Some therapies will only be offered after first-line approaches such as painkillers, weight loss and steroid injections have been tried.

– Private medical insurance companies will be able to recommend doctors.

– The Private Healthcare Information Network (phin.org.uk) allows you to search by hospital, clinic, consultant, treatment, procedure or location. Your GP should still refer you.

  WHAT: An ‘offloading’ knee brace is a fabric and lightweight plastic strap that exerts a gentle sideways pull to realign the joint, helping to restore movement and relieve pain.

HOW IT WORKS: In 2017, a joint study by Swansea and Cardiff universities found that 40 per cent of patients awaiting a total knee replacement felt they did not need the procedure after wearing an offloading leg brace for two years.

‘A patient needs specific knee problems for a brace to help,’ explains Dean Muldoon, a physiotherapist at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Birmingham. ‘The pain needs to be caused by the joint being out of kilter on one side so that the brace can correct poor alignment. If the joint is pointing inwards slightly, we use a brace to pull the joint outwards and compensate for the inversion. It also works the other way round. But if the joint has damage throughout, a brace will not be suitable.’

Taking the pressure off the joint helps retrain the surrounding muscles to hold the joint correctly. But muscles are the best natural brace for the knee, so those wearing an offloading brace must stick to a rehabilitation programme outlined by a qualified physiotherapist.

HOW CAN I GET IT? Offloading braces are available on the NHS but you must get a referral from your GP to a specialist knee clinic to find out if you are eligible, and to be fitted. Most private healthcare providers offer leg braces. The most widely used is the Unloader One from manufacturer Ossur – it costs from about £600. The company also produces a hip brace, the Unloader Hip. Visit ossur.co.uk or call 08450 065 065.

PROS AND CONS: Minimally invasive, strong evidence it works, and affordable. But it doesn’t work for all types of arthritis.

YOUR OWN BLOOD COULD BE THE ANSWER

WHAT: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections. The procedure involves taking a small amount of the patient’s own blood, centrifuging it to concentrate the platelets – the cells in the blood responsible for soft tissue healing – then reinjecting it into the affected joints.

HOW IT WORKS: Part of an emerging area known as orthobiologics – technology that harnesses the body’s own healing ability – PRP injections have been widely used in the sporting world for some time.

It is primarily offered on the NHS for tendon pain but there is some evidence it can be used to treat osteoarthritis-related joint pain. It’s not fully understood how PRP works but it is thought that growth factors in the platelets have an anti-inflammatory effect.

One new treatment involves taking a small amount of the patient’s own blood, centrifuging it to concentrate the platelets then reinjecting it into the affected joints, like the hip (shown)

The procedure – drawing about 60ml of blood, centrifuging twice then re-injecting – takes about 30 minutes, and patients can go home afterwards. Some patients only need one injection, while others will have three over several weeks. ‘You should start to feel the benefits after five days if it’s going to work for you,’ adds Mr Datta.

HOW CAN I GET IT? This treatment is available in a handful of NHS trusts. Speak to your GP about a referral. Privately it costs about £2,000 for three injections.

PROS AND CONS: Minimally invasive but it is expensive and requires top-ups.

ELECTRIC ZAPPER THAT RESETS NERVES

WHAT: Pulsed radiofrequency treatment (PRF) is an electrical treatment that works by ‘resetting’ a nerve to make it less reactive. Studies have shown that applying pulsed radiofrequency to certain nerves can block their ability to transmit pain.

‘My brace saved me from a total knee replacement’

Simon Holborn, a 44-year-old print and packaging expert from Bath, had an offloading brace called the Ossur Unloader fitted two years ago, having previously been told his only option was a complete knee replacement.

Simon says: ‘Five years ago I was playing cricket and hyper-extended my left knee – when it sort of bends backward instead of forward in the normal range of motion.

‘After that I felt like the knee simply wasn’t supporting me. Then about three years ago I injured it again when lifting heavy boxes.

‘I was on high doses of daily painkillers and in constant pain. My GP referred me to an orthopaedic consultant, who diagnosed me with osteoarthritis and said a full knee replacement was imminent. Then out of the blue I had a call from the prosthetics company Ossur, who had spoken to the consultant. They wanted me to try their Unloader One brace, which would realign my knee, as part of a trial.

‘I wear the brace from the moment I get up until the evening when I get home. Within a few weeks I noticed I wasn’t reaching for the painkillers half as much, even though I was walking more.

‘In July scans showed I now only need a partial replacement on the load-bearing side.

‘I’m starting a new round of physiotherapy in October and making lots of lifestyle changes, including giving up smoking and improving my diet. I’m hoping that my knee will keep improving.’

HOW IT WORKS: The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, or sometimes sedation. A doctor uses X-ray or ultrasound to locate the nerve close to the joint, then inserts an electrode needle next to the affected nerve.

Once the needle is in the correct position, a high-frequency current is applied to the nerve for around ten minutes. After the nerve is treated, the knee is bandaged and the patient discharged. The procedure takes about two hours and patients may experience a small amount of bruising and discomfort once the local anaesthetic has worn off. Pain relief may take several weeks to kick in, and the onset is usually subtle, becoming progressively better, and lasting between six and 12 months. The knees, hips and shoulders are all areas that respond to PRF. A 2013 study published in the journal Anesthesiology And Pain Medicine found that all 57 patients who had the procedure experienced a significant reduction in pain.

HOW CAN I GET IT? PRF for joint pain is not available on the NHS. Privately it costs about £2,000 per session.

PROS AND CONS: A good option for those resistant to traditional painkillers and steroid injections or unsuitable for joint replacement. However, it is expensive and does not offer long-term relief.

REHYDRATE THOSE CREAKY JOINTS

WHAT: Viscosupplementation is a procedure that involves injecting a joint with hyaluronic acid (HA), a component of the synovial fluid, which is found inside joints and provides cushioning and nutrients to the cartilage.

HOW IT WORKS: HA is a jelly-like substance that cushions the joint, dampens inflammation and facilitates movement.

The injection is most commonly used in the knee but can also be used in the ankle and shoulder. A 2005 review of 63 trials concluded that viscosupplementation was an expensive but effective treatment for osteoarthritis in the knee, saying it reduced pain and increased function for up to 26 weeks.

The treatment, which takes about 20 minutes, can be particularly helpful for those who have failed to respond to anti-inflammatory painkillers, analgesics, physiotherapy and weight loss.

Some patients experience a small amount of bruising, bleeding or numbness immediately after the injection but this usually disappears after a few hours.

It usually takes between five and 14 days for pain relief to be felt, and a top-up treatment will be required six to 18 months later.

Around 160,000 hip, knee and ankle replacements are carried out each year in Britain (file image)

HOW CAN I GET IT? The treatment is not routinely used for osteoarthritis by the NHS. Privately, each injection costs about £500.

PROS AND CONS: Minimally invasive and targeted treatment. Expensive and you’ll need top-ups.

TWO ‘ALTERNATIVE’ OPTIONS… THAT WORK!

WHAT: Osteopathy – a gentle type of soft tissue manipulation – can help improve joint flexibility and reduce inflammation by physically stimulating the circulation, helping drain fluid from the joint. Acupuncture involves ultra-fine needles being inserted for a short amount of time in various areas around the body. It is found to have a pain-relieving effect.

HOW IT WORKS: Tim Allardyce, registered osteopath and spokesman for the Institute of Osteopathy, explains: ‘Stiff joints can lead to stiff muscles which can leave you seized up, so people often need stretching. We don’t do loads of yanking and crunching though.’

A pilot NHS study published last year found that osteopathy reduced trauma and referrals to an orthopaedic surgeon by 44 per cent.

Evidence suggest that acupuncture works to reduce pain by triggering release of neurotransmitters called endorphins and enkephalins as well as the hormone cortisol that helps control inflammation.

Acupuncture could solve joint pain. It involves ultra-fine needles being inserted for a short amount of time in various areas around the body

Dr Mike Cummings, medical director of the British Medical Acupuncture Society, says: ‘Acupuncture taps into the central nervous system to turn the volume down on pain.’

HOW CAN I GET IT? Osteopathy and acupuncture are available in some NHS trusts. Private costs range from £35 to £45 per session.

PROS AND CONS: Treatments can help boost mobility but they do not reverse damage.
