Different types of knee implant

Talking about the knee implants there are variegated options in terms of the material and the doctor will choose the one which makes your knee flexible. Let’s observe the option which you can suggest.

Metal on plastic

One of the most preferred options to the patients at the orthopedic hospital after getting evaluated by the ortho doctor in Ludhiana. This type of knee implant contains a metal femoral part which has a polyethylene plastic spacer and additionally a tibial part. With this metal, the most commonly used options are nickel, zirconium, titanium, and cobalt-chromium.

Earlier, there was an issue with this option due to which the plastic implants resulted in an immune reaction and the bone is likely to be broken. However, the advancement has greatly helped to address this concern.

Ceramic on plastic

Ceramic on plastic is a type from which the patient with knee problems can benefit. With this type, the femoral component is used although it also has a plastic spacer. When the patients are sensitive towards the nickel they have suggested this option.

Ceramic on Ceramic

Ceramic is used for the components like tibial & femoral. This material does not lead to any sort of excess reaction to the body. Although, when you walk you will hear a squeaky noise. Due to heavy pressure, it is likely to break easily.

Metal on metal

Whether you talk about the tibial or femoral, both are made from metal. Although, it is not used that much as there is the issue of metal getting into the blood. The chemical might occur as the implant hardware breaks in the body.

Choosing the right type of implant will help you live a better quality of life and especially when you get your knee replacement treatment planned from an experienced ortho doctor in Ludhiana like Dr. Balwant Singh Hunjan.
