The knee joint is the largest joint in the human body that is formed between the thigh bone (femur), the leg bone (tibia) and the knee cap (patella).Sever osteoarthritis can lead to the total knee replacement. When a knee replacement is performed, the bone and cartilage on the end of the thigh bone (femur) and top of the shin bone (tibia) are removed. This is performed using precise instruments to create surfaces that can accommodate the implant perfectly. A metal and plastic knee replacement implant is then placed in to function as a new knee joint. Depending on the condition of the cartilage underneath the kneecap, the kneecap surface may also be replaced.
