In recent years, the prosthetic knee surgery has managed to change the lives of millions of people around the world who suffered from limited mobility and ambulation very important.

Surgery knee osteoarthritis

Surgery Knee osteoarthritis is a safe surgery, with comparable to those of any prosthetic surgery very contrasting results, and joy returned as we have indicated in these patients. The new prosthetic designs, improved tribology and more optimized use of materials, much improved in these first results.

Perhaps the most important achievement of recent years is the increased longevity of implants and improved mobility achieved with the systems.

It however is a demanding surgery, and complications, when they occur, are not trivial. It is therefore important to inform the patient of all possible avatars that may arise and be solved.

It is very necessary to study your particular case, since the choice of prosthetic model more in line with the patient's needs will be carried out after a thorough preoperative study.

The most important thing is not roam quickly with two canes, but get a good range of motion, reaching ambulation later without problems.

For the best integration of the implant, it is customary to keep two poles for a month and a cane for another month. It is also common keep antitromboembólicos orthotic devices during this period to facilitate blood circulation, which is often compromised and altered after surgery.

Given the success of the technique, extending even to people getting younger, and in recent years using of femoral-patellar or Unicondylar devices, with which we hope to achieve similar results.
