The type of anaesthesia is decided by your doctor depending on your medical condition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Knee replacement surgery is performed with a special bleeding cuff placed on the thigh to minimize blood loss. After proper anaesthesia, an approximately 20-centimeter incision is made above the kneecap, through which the surgeon exposes the joint. Worn cartilage surfaces are removed and templates are used to create the location of the knee prosthesis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By inserting a test prosthesis, we check the stability and the range of motion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Metal components of a predetermined size are glued with special antibiotic bone cement, between which a plastic lining is inserted to ensure proper movement and friction. Depending on the condition of the kneecap, a plastic \u201cbutton\u201d may also be used to replace the articular surface of the kneecap. If the movement and stability of the final components are adequate, thorough haemostasis is performed and then the tissues are layered over a drain tube to remove any haematoma that may form. A sterile dressing and elastic bandage are then applied.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space  sc_height_tiny\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span

Diabetics, overweight patients, those on steroid treatment are at particular risk.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thrombosis (abnormal blood clots) can also occur, which can be associated with any surgery. Patients with varicose veins of the lower extremities and those who have previously undergone thrombosis or obese patients are particularly exposed to risk. To avoid this, we will give you anticoagulant injections for about six weeks, which will minimize the likelihood of developing thrombosis.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fractures of the affected bones may occur during or after knee replacement surgery. In this case, it may be necessary to extend the operation, to insert suitable new metal materials (implants), and to walk straining the leg only later than planned. The risk of this complication is especially possible in case of patients with osteoporosis.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Blood vessels and nerves run in the area to be operated on, so very rarely, but damage to these formulas can also occur.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">After the implantation of a knee prosthesis, there may be a degree of haematoma that needs to be emptied with another surgery to prevent later infection. Therefore, blood transfusions may be necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid shape_divider_top-none shape_divider_bottom-none\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2 style=\"color: #0e1b8d;text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading\" >Am I suitable for knee replacement surgery?<\/h2>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In each case, your doctor will decide, based on preliminary tests, what the risks are.
