Causes of Osteoarthritis & Risk Factor
Correctly called as osteoarthritis is actually a degenerative disease. The Cartilage of the knee joint slowly wears with time and age, this leads to exposing off the raw bone ends which causes friction and hence pain.
Due to the ongoing reparative process of the body, there occurs formation of the osteophytes which restricts the motion and leads to deformity as well.These changes increase with age. Some people are also genetically predisposed to early osteoarthritis. Overweight or obese individuals also have an early onset of symptoms.Apart from these, inflammatory diseases like Rheumatoid arthritis can also lead to joint derangement. Ill treated intra-articular injuries also can lead to early osteoarthritis.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE
Total knee replacement surgery involves exposing the damaged knee joint by any of the indicated approach, and then either starting with the inferior bone (Tibia) or the upper bone(Femur) First.
Then appropriate cuts are made which are decided by the axis of both the bones. The osteophytes are removed, the femur sizing is done, posterior releasing is done for the flexion deformity.
Soft tissue balancing is done, flexion and extension gaps are balanced. After satisfactory outcomes, the trial implants are inserted and checked. Stability in full range of motion of the implant is checked and patellar tracking is checked.
At this stage patella may or may not be resurfaced depending upon the condition. After everything seems to be satisfactory, wound lavage is done and the final implants taken and inserted with the help of cement.
Wound lavage is done, an infiltrate to decrease the pain in postoperative period is inserted. Layered closure is done.
