Suffering from degenerative knee disease? Our knee specialists in Mumbai are here to help you.
Degenerative knee joint disease, also known as OA (osteoarthritis), is the most common type of knee disease. The degenerative joint disease commonly occurs in the knee joint, hip joint, hands, and the spine.
The degenerative joint disease typically occurs with aging when the cartilage cushioning the bones breaks down and the bone surfaces are exposed and rub down together, causing friction. This friction may cause general irritation and the joint region may become inflamed and painful, resulting in a loss of motion in the knee joint. Other complications of degenerative joint disease may include the development of bone spurs around the affected knee or weakness and stiffness in the surrounding ligaments and muscles.
If you or your loved one is suffering from knee osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease in the knee, you may know how severely this disease can affect an individual’s life. The loss of joint movement and function and knee pain can highly impact a person’s quality of life and might keep them from doing the things they enjoy.

Types of Knee Replacement Implants
There are different types of knee implants. The main difference between them is whether the implant replaces the entire knee joint or only some component of it. The most suitable type of knee implant suitable for will depend on various factors.
Artificial knee implants basically consist of the following parts-
- A metal cap is placed on the end of the thigh bone, after the removal of the damaged joint surfaces.
- A platform also called the tibial (lower leg) component (usually consisting of a metal alloy) replaces the top surface of the lower leg.
- A plastic spacer made up of polyethylene between the upper leg and lower leg component replaces the knee joint space and meniscus and helps the knee implant move.
There are several different options for knee joint implants available Your surgeon will select the implant during your preoperative visits. The type of knee implant used for your replacement surgery will depend on various factors, such as your age, weight, activity level, and severity of arthritis (if present).
