What happens in a Total Knee Replacement Surgery?
- Knee Cartilage is worn out because of old age, trauma or genetic disorders
- This worn out surface is removed with saws and drills
- The underlying spongy and porous bone is called cancellous bone
- The cut bone surface is thoroughly cleaned
- Bone Cement is applied
- Metal implants are fixed
Use of Pulse Lavage:
Pulse Lavage is an important equipment used to prepare bone bed before orthopedic cementing during arthroplasty. It has been proven to increase cement penetration into the bone thus ensuring fixation strength leading to longer survival of implants.
