@drbonesph: Our 69 y/o patient one year after surgery, walking PAIN FREE and with NO ASSISTANCE following TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY (resurfacing) of BOTH knees for SEVERE OSTEOARTHRITIS (Posted with permission). OSTEOARTHRITIS, sometimes called "wear-and-tear arthritis," is a common condition that many people develop as they age. It can occur in any joint in the body, but most often develops in weight-bearing joints, such as the hip and knee joint. Osteoarthritis of the knee causes pain and stiffness. It can make it hard to do everyday activities like bending over to tie a shoe, rising from a chair, or taking a short walk. Because osteoarthritis gradually worsens over time, the sooner you start treatment, the more likely it is that you can lessen its impact on your life. Although there is no cure for osteoarthritis, there are many treatment options to help you manage pain and stay active. (OrthoInfo AAOS). In a total knee replacement (also called total knee arthroplasty), the damaged bone and cartilage is removed and replaced with prosthetic components. #osteoarthritis #knee #kneepain #kneesurgery #arthroplasty #TKA #TKA #totalkneearthroplasty #totalkneereplacement #kneereplacement #orthopedics #orthopaedicsurgery
