Hip and knee replacement are two of the most commonly performed operations in orthopedic surgery. During total knee replacement surgery, a thin amount of bone along the surface of the joint is removed from the end of the femur or thigh bone, the top of the tibia or leg bone, as well as the underside of the kneecap.

The surfaces of the bone are then shaped with tools and sized to allow an appropriate implant fit for each individual knee. The major ligaments and tendons of the knee are typically kept in place to provide stability and normal motion of the knee joint.

Like hip replacements, knee replacements can either be cemented into place or are covered in a special material into which the bone will grow.
