Knee Implants Are Used For Knee Replacements Surgeries, As They Help Prevent the Constrained Ligament Providing Stability Essential for Knee Movement

Knee Implants are artificial components that are placed into the knee during knee replacement surgery. These implants vary in size, shape, and material. They are made of biocompatible materials that are well tolerated by the body. These implants may be made from metal alloys like titanium or cobalt chromium, or plastics like polyethylene. The femoral component of a knee implant is made of metal and has a channel that allows the kneecap to move freely.

There are many different types of knee replacements, all based on a basic design developed over 30 years ago. The choice of implant depends on the type of ligament damage, the degree of deformity, and other factors. In general, surgeons choose a high-flex design that will provide stability and freedom of motion for the patient. They also use gender-specific designs to match the anatomy of a woman's knee. Custom-made knee implants are made from a combination of plastic and metal pieces that are crafted to fit the patient's anatomy. The surgeon uses CT or MRI imaging to determine the patient's anatomy. These plastic and metal pieces are manufactured to the patient's specifications in approximately five to six weeks.

Before surgery, patients must undergo a physical exam and anesthesia. Anesthesia may be given using a spinal block or general anesthesia. The surgeon will use anesthesia to prevent pain and ensure the best possible outcome for the patient. During surgery, the surgeon will make an incision in the knee and remove damaged bone and cartilage. Then, the surgeon will insert a knee implant. The implant may also be held in place by cement, which provides a smooth gliding surface between the implant and the bone.

Some implants are designed to avoid the constrained ligament, which connects the upper and lower parts of the knee. The goal of non-constrained implants is to provide stability for the medial and lateral ligaments, which are essential for knee movement. Some types of implants are designed to preserve the posterior cruciate ligament, which provides flexion. In May 2022, Shalby Group, launched its novel TUSK, knee joint.
