Additional Information for Orthopedic Knee Joint
Orthopedic knee joints are medical devices used in orthopedic surgery to replace a damaged or diseased knee joint. They are part of the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" in the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies."
Orthopedic knee joints are designed to mimic the natural movement and function of a healthy knee joint. They are typically made of metal alloys, such as titanium or cobalt-chromium, and high-density polyethylene. These materials provide durability and stability while allowing for smooth articulation.
The orthopedic knee joint consists of several components, including the femoral component, tibial component, and patellar component. The femoral component is attached to the end of the thigh bone (femur), the tibial component is attached to the top of the shin bone (tibia), and the patellar component is attached to the kneecap (patella).
During knee replacement surgery, the damaged or diseased parts of the knee joint are removed, and the orthopedic knee joint components are implanted. The components are secured to the bone using bone cement or through a press-fit technique, depending on the specific design.
Orthopedic knee joints are available in various sizes and designs to accommodate different patient anatomies and conditions. Surgeons select the appropriate size and type of knee joint based on factors such as the patient's age, weight, activity level, and the extent of knee joint damage.
These medical devices play a crucial role in improving the quality of life for individuals suffering from knee joint conditions, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or knee injuries. They help restore mobility, reduce pain, and enhance overall knee joint function.
It's important to note that the use of orthopedic knee joints requires specialized training and expertise. Surgeons and healthcare professionals should carefully evaluate each patient's condition and determine the most suitable treatment approach, which may or may not involve the use of orthopedic knee joints.
Please consult with a qualified healthcare professional for more information about orthopedic knee joints and their specific applications.
