Total Knee & Partial Knee Replacement Surgery

Total knee replacement or “arthroplasty” is the relining or resurfacing of the joint (bone end surfaces) with artificial parts called prostheses.

There are three components used in the artificial knee. The femoral (thigh) component is made of metal alloy and covers the end of the thigh bone. It may be cemented to the bone or, for some prosthesis, inserted without cement for tissues to grow into the porous coating or the device (biological fixation).

Inland Orthopaedic Surgery & Sports Medicine Clinic

Here are some things to keep in mind after your knee scope with Dr. Tingstad:
Dressings:

  • Keep bandage clean and dry for 4 days. After this time you may remove the bandage and replace with band aids
    over the incision sites.
  • Leave the steri-strips on as these will fall off on their own. Do not attempt to trim or cut stitches.
  • After 7 days you may shower without scrubbing over the incision sites. Do not submerge knee in tub or pool until
    stitches come out at your post-operative appointment.
  • It is normal to have some swelling and discomfort for a few days to weeks after surgery.
  • It is normal to have some fluid discharge from incision sites for first 4-5 days.
