These prosthetics are made up of metal or plastic components and match up to replicate the Knee functions. A very polished and sturdy metal alloy substitutes the femur section of the Knee joint, the Tibia section is replaced with a highly durable polymer tray and the Knee cap or Patella is changed with more plastic material.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Partial Knee Replacement Surgery \u2013<\/strong> <\/span>Also known as a Uni Compartmental Knee Replacement, this surgery is chosen if only one compartment or section of the Knee is severely damaged and needs a replacement and not the entire Knee joint. Either for the Femur or Patella or the Tibia section, an implant is passed via a small cut and is positioned.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Kneecap Replacement Surgery \u2013<\/strong><\/span> This surgery becomes essential when the patient suffers from a very damaged Kneecap, a dislocated Kneecap.
