Knee Replacement Alternatives: What to Know

Ouch! Bone-on-Bone Pain
In a healthy joint, the ends of the bones are covered with a smooth layer of cartilage that allows for smooth movement and acts as a shock absorber. However, in conditions like osteoarthritis, the cartilage gradually wears away, leading to bone-on-bone contact and friction within the joint. This can result in significant pain, inflammation, stiffness, and decreased mobility.
If you have bone-on-bone pain, you know it feels like a deep, achy, throbbing pain in your knee. It may worsen with movement or weight-bearing activities and can be accompanied by swelling, joint stiffness, and a grinding or crunching sensation known as crepitus.
Treatment options for bone-on-bone pain include conservative measures, such as pain management through medications, physical therapy, activity modifications, and assistive devices like braces or canes. In more severe cases where conservative treatments are ineffective, knee replacement surgery may be suggested to alleviate the pain and restore joint function.
Invasive Knee Replacement Surgery
During a knee replacement surgery, the damaged surfaces of the knee joint, including the ends of the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin bone), are removed, and replaced with metal or plastic components that mimic the natural joint surfaces. These components are usually fixed in place with bone cement or are designed to allow bone to grow into them for stability. The goal is to alleviate pain, improve joint function, and enhance the patient’s ability to perform daily activities and engage in physical exercise.
