Knee replacement surgery. Surgeon performing total knee replacement surgery on a 60 year old male with osteoarthritis. During the operation prostheses will be implanted into the thigh bone (femur) and shinbone (tibia) to form an artificial knee joint. The TRUMATCH system is being used here. The surgeon is using a pin guide that has been custom-made for this patient (from a CT scan) to insert the fixings into the tibia. Knee joints need replacing when the protective cartilage that surrounds them is lost | |
