Successful single stage total knee replacement with patella management can not only reduce the number of operations, but also enable patients to achieve rapid postoperative recovery. However, single stage may increase the risk of local surgical complications. Therefore, for most patients, especially thos...
There are2 typesof knee replacement surgery: Partial Knee Replacement surgeryinvolves the removal and replacement of the damaged knee parts (some of the joint surfaces may still be healthy).

This may result in less pain, recovery time is reduced, and motion is better as scar tissue formation is less. In total knee replacement, four steps are performed: Removal of damaged cartilage surfaces, which is at the ends of the femur and tibia, with a small quantity of unde...
Objective: This study investigated the efficacy of specific massage therapy techniques as treatment for scar tissue build up, which decreased active range of motion at the knee joint after a total knee arthroplasty. Case Selection: A 61 year old male, diagnosed with end-stage lateral compartment ...
Scar-tissue removal is performed in the same manner as in the case of open arthrolysis. Component stability, evidence of polyethylene wear, and patello-femoral track are carefully examined. Component removal may lead to bone stock loss espe- cially in the case of uncemented implants, requiring...
