Knee replacement Surgery -Easy and Quick Reference



Knee replacement, also called arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure

to resurface a knee damaged by arthritis.

Metal and plastic parts are used to cap the ends of the bones that form the knee joint,

along with the kneecap. This surgery may be considered for someone who has severe arthritis

or a severe knee injury.



During the procedure



* The anesthesiologist will continuously monitor your heart rate, blood pressure,

breathing, and blood oxygen level during the surgery.

* The skin over the surgical site will be cleansed with an antiseptic solution.



* The doctor will make an incision in the knee area..

* The doctor will remove the damaged surfaces of the knee joint

and resurface the knee joint with the prosthesis.

The knee prosthesis is made up of metal and plastic.

The most common type of artificial knee prosthesis is a cemented prosthesis.

* The incision will be closed with stitches or surgical staples.

* A drain may be placed in the incision site to remove fluid.

* A sterile bandage or dressing will be applied.



After the surgery you will be taken to the recovery room for observation.

A physical therapist will meet with you soon after your surgery and plan an exercise program

joint replacements carry the same dangers as other major surgeries, like a chance of infections or blood clots.

Realistic activities following total knee replacement include unlimited

walking, swimming, golf, driving, light hiking, biking, ballroom dancing, and other low-impact sports.

With appropriate activity modification, knee replacements can last for many years.

Osteoarthritis - Quick and Easy Reference

A joint is where two bones come together. The ends of these bones

are covered with protective tissue called cartilage. With OA, this cartilage breaks down,

causing the bones within the joint to rub together. This can cause pain, stiffness, and other symptoms.



The most common symptoms of osteoarthritis include:

pain

tenderness (discomfort when pressing on the area with your fingers)

stiffness

inflammation



Osteoarthritis diagnosis

Early OA is often diagnosed after an accident or other incident that causes a

fracture requiring an X-ray.

In addition to X-rays, your doctor may use an MRI scan to diagnose OA.



Osteoarthritis Prevention

Control Weight

Exercise

Eat Right

Eat good sources of omega-3 fatty acids

an internal hemorrhoid to cut off its circulation.

The hemorrhoid withers and falls off within a week.



Cryosurgery

Cryosurgery is the use of extreme cold

produced by liquid nitrogen  to destroy abnormal tissue.



Coagulation (infrared, laser)

Coagulation techniques use laser or infrared light or heat.

They cause small, bleeding, internal hemorrhoids to harden and shrivel.



Surgery

If you have large hemorrhoids, your doctor may recommend a surgical procedure.

surgeon removes excessive tissue that causes bleeding.



Stapling

During the operation, part of the

anorectum – the last section of the large intestine – is stapled.

which causes them to gradually shrink.

A first-degree internal hemorrhoid bulges into the anal canal during bowel movements.

A second-degree internal hemorrhoid bulges from the anus during bowel movements, then goes back inside by itself.

A third-degree hemorrhoid bulges from the anus during bowel movements and must be pushed back in with a finger.

A fourth-degree hemorrhoid protrudes from the anus all the time.
