How common is total knee ligament replacement surgery?
There are 5 main types of knee replacement surgery: Total knee replacement. This is the most common form. Your surgeon replaces the surfaces of the thigh bone and shin bone that connects to the knee. Partial knee replacement. If arthritis affects only one side of your knee, this surgery may be a possibility. However, it’s only right for you if you have strong knee ligaments and the rest of the cartilage in the knee is normal. Partial knee replacement can be performed through a smaller cut than is needed for total knee replacement. Patellofemoral replacement. This replaces only the under-surface of the kneecap and the groove the kneecap sits in. This can be very effective for people with chronic kneecap arthritis. Complex (or revision) knee replacement. This procedure may be needed if you have very severe arthritis or if you’ve already had two or three knee replacement surgeries. Cartilage restoration: Sometimes when the knee only has an isolated area of injury or wear this area can be replaced with a living cartilage graft or cells which grow into cartilage.
When you have total knee replacement and you have an infection does the infection go directly to the knee replacement?

How can you break your tibia bone without knowing?
I have the answer to that question. The only true way to know if your tibia is broken is by a bone scan. I walked around with a broken tibia for a year and a half without knowing. The Doctors could not see it on the x-ray and because i had a partial knee replacement they could not do a bone scan. The broken tibia was not found until they open me up for my total knee replacement. I hope that helped
