Total Knee Replacement Part 2: The Surgical Procedure

Its quite interesting that you said after it is cemented that it is nearly impossible for it to come loose.... my mom is in the hospital right now. about 18 months ago she had a total knee replacement done and today it has to be re done because the cement came loose. there was no infection and no breaks in her bones in there. the cement for some unknown reason just loosened it self from the bone and no one has a reason how this could have happened!! any advise??

I'm having my 2nd TKR on the 15th, I had my first one different knee back in 05 and I wish I took my Dr advice and had them both done at the same time...I know from experience that a key to recovery is mental preparation and staying with the rehab program, I rehabbed my first TKR in 9 weeks, I'm shooting for six this time.. Yes the pain for the first 48-72 hours is a bitch, but you will look back and know when you are healed it was all worth it.. Thanks for the inside look...

cool thx got any tips from a anesthesiologist like you

i know it takes longer than 10 mins but i mean on youtube i thougt the limit for a vid is 10 mins not 10 mis and 1 second even ( just curios don't take wrong way)

The procedure actually takes approx 1 hour. The entire procedure was filmed with a Canon Professional Camera (XHA1) The video is edited in Apple Final Cut Pro, separately narrated (audio edited in Logic Pro) after video editing. The editing was done to demonstrate the main steps in TKR for the patient. This is not intended to be a "how to" video for surgeons.
