Total Knee Replacement

Pre-operative image of a 60-year-old male patient with longstanding right-sided knee pain and a varus (bow-legged) deformity. The knee X-ray demonstrates tricompartmental osteoarthritis with progressive cartilage loss that is bone-on-bone in the medial compartment.

The patient has now undergone a computer-navigated right total knee replacement. The new knee prosthesis restores the knee back to normal mechanical alignment, and is well-balanced in flexion and extension using a gap-balancing technique.
