The arrow indicates the damaged cartilage, source of the pains, on the
flat part of the external compartment.

The femur (fem) and the tibia (tib) are cut with an oscillating saw to
prepare them for the prosthetic. The kneecap (belch) is luxated during a
total prosthesis. It should be noted that the tibia is luxated for the
tibiale cut .
|
Final result: here, the prosthesis has been cemented to the bone. The
photo clearly shows the metal femoral part and the polyethylene tibiale
component (a very hard, high density,plastic).
