Components Of The Prosthesis

Dr. Harlan Selesnick

There are 3 components of the prosthesis: tibial component, femoral component and patellar component. Dr. Harlan Selesnick, Orthopedic Surgeon at Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute, explains all of them have to be fashioned by measurements to give the patient of a knee replacement a better lifestyle with no more pain. The idea is to use what doctors call cement bone to allow full-motion as possible, as well as good stability for many years.
