Types of Knee Surgeries

As an alternative to the following types of traditional knee surgeries, the Regenexx™ procedure is a breakthrough, non-surgical treatment option

Total Knee replacement surgery

The quadriceps muscle is detached and the ends of the femur and tibia are cut off.  Metal, plastic, or ceramic inserts are then hammered and cemented into the bone ends.

Partial Knee Replacement

In rare instances, degeneration is localized to one side of the knee.  Part of the tibia ad femur are sawed off and replaced with artificial caps.

Knee Surgery Revision

This is a re-do of the total Knee Replacement.  This time, the fixed ends of the artificial knee must be forcibly loosened and removed, often with more bone reshaping, before the placement of new artificial inserts.
