MODEL RELEASED. Total knee replacement surgery. Image 13 of 14. Surgeon stapling a patient's knee to close the wound after performing an operation to completely replace the worn knee joint. This patient suffers from severe osteoarthritis of the knee. Osteoarthritis causes the cartilage surface of the bones to wear down. This means that the bones of the joint rub against each other causing them to become rough and painful. This surgery replaced the worn knee with a Zimmer Nexgen Legacy Posterior Stabilized (LPS) prosthetic knee | |
