People world- wide is affected by knee problems which is most common between people over 50 years of age and also those who are overweight. The Knee surgery is one of the scientific boons for patients suffering from the various diseases in the knee.

There are three major types of knee surgeries which are :
Arthroscopic Knee Surgery :
Arthroscopy is a treatment that can be used for a variety of knee joint conditions such as torn meniscus, mild arthritis, loose pieces of broken cartilage in the joint, a torn or damaged anterior or posterior cruciate ligament, inflamed or damaged synovium or misalignment of the knee cap.
The Arthroscopic Knee Surgery is operated with the help of a small camera inserted into the knee joint through a small incision and through the attached video monitor doctor is able to see inside the knee. The surgeon pulls out various tissues, a shaver to remove damaged or unwanted tissues such as torn cartilage and a burr to remove bone.
Partial Knee Replacement :
The orthopedic knee surgery also includes a cure for Arthritis which is a knee problem causing pain in the knee. The Partial Knee Replacement also known as Uni- Compartmental Knee Replacement is one of the most effective surgery for patients suffering from the disease. In this surgery implants a uni- compartmental knee between the femur and the tibia to avoid contact between the two and therefore reducing the pain in the knee.
Total Knee Replacement :
The Total Knee Replacement is advised at the advanced cases of Arthritis. The patients suffer from acute pain in the knee and are advised to replace the knee joint with an artificial joint. This is the most comprehensive of the three surgical procedures which takes normally around two hours. The total knee replacement is performed by cutting away the damaged bone of the knee joint and is replaced with prosthesis. This new joint prevents the bone from rubbing against each other providing a pain- relieved knee joint. The patients thereafter receive various treatments which include regular exercise regime for a long term treatment.
Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction :
The knee problem that sports men and women generally suffer from is a breaking of a cruciate ligament, most commonly the anterior cruciate ligament. The surgery for reconstruction of the cruciate ligament involves the removal of the torn ends of the ligament and replacing these with a graft taken from another tendon such as the hamstring or patellar ten.
