Total knee replacement (TKR) involves shaving off the bones forming the knee joint- namely femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone) and patella (knee cap), and replacing them with artificial components, made of a special metal alloy (cobalt-chrome, titanium or oxinium), with a plastic insert between them. These components are accurately matched to the size of the patient?s own bones, and are placed in a very careful manner, so as to maintain normal alignment of the limb. The components are usually fixed with special ?cement? to the bones.
