Our legs carry the whole weight of out body whenever we perform any physical activity, generally while standing. The skeletal system of the legs can be divided as Femur (which is also called the thigh bone), Tibia (which is the leg bone) and Patella (which is a knee-cap) that joins the Femur and Tibia with a hinge joint. It is very important that great care be taken for the knee as it provides flexibility to the legs, enabling to perform various activities. There can be injuries caused to the knee resulting in pain and incapability to use the legs for any day to day work. Injuries can be caused by direct blows to the knee cap, but it can also be injured internally if it is stretched or twisted more than the hinge joint is designed to tolerate. When injuries go to the extent of doing a physical damage to the knee-cap or the adjoining bones, then arises a need to go for a Knee Replacement Surgery India.

Nowadays, any kind of joint replacement surgeries are becoming very common as surgery provides with a permanent solution to the problem, and hip replacement and knee replacement Surgery India are the areas that are the most popular.

But with no scope for the bones to grow back, the new joint is cemented. There are briefly four types in which knee replacement can be categorised. Non-constrained implant is when the prosthesis is not attached to anything. It relies on the ligaments and muscles around the knee to settle itself. Semi-constrained implant is when the surgeon removes the ligaments from the inner knee if he feels that this would provide more stability. Then there is Constraint implant which is generally not the first option. This implant contains the whole mechanism of a knee joint artificially made and replaced and is done if the knee is severely damaged.

There are a lot of precautions and exercise involved after a Knee Replacement Surgery India because the body has to adapt to the new artificial things inserted inside. There also may be complications such as infection, blood clotting, loosening or stiffness of the joint, etc. while the body is adapting, after the surgery.
