How is Knee Calcification performed?

During the surgery, a prosthesis is attached instead of the existing cartilage tissue.
This material is made entirely of metal.  In this way, it is possible to obtain a joint which is moving, painless and closest to normal.

General Information

At the end of each bone that forms the joints, there is cartilage tissue that covers the bone.

This cartilage tissue between the bones creates a slippery surface, preventing the bones from rubbing against each other.

And it enables the systematic movements of the joints to be carried out easily. Since the knee joint is open to loads from many directions, it means the deterioration of the articular cartilage.

Arthritis is more common in the knee joint than in other joints. Knee joint cartilage is severely impaired and knee joint movements are restricted and painful.

Even our most simple activity is to walk and become painful and difficult. There are patients with damaged articular cartilage.

For these patients, it may be possible to do our activities painlessly and move our knee joint by covering the bony surfaces that make up the joint.

There are basically two purposes of knee replacement surgery;

  • The first is to provide a painless movement.
  • The second is to use this procedure for as long as possible, if possible for a lifetime.
