Knee Replacement in New Orleans: What You Need to Know

A total knee replacement in New Orleans is a surgery that replaces an arthritic knee joint with artificial replacement parts. It is usually recommended for older patients who are suffering from pain and loss of function due to arthritis and have been unsuccessful using other methods of therapy. The typical knee replacement replaces the ends of the shinbone and thighbone with plastic inserted between them and the kneecap. Symptoms that might require knee replacement in New Orleans include the following. The capsule of the arthritic knee is swollen. Bone spurs or excessive bone can also build up around the edges of the joint. The cartilage lining is thinner than normal or completely absent. The degree of cartilage damage and inflammation varies with the type and stage of arthritis. The joint space is narrowed and irregular in outline, which can be seen in an X-ray image.
