Total knee replacement. Image 1 of 14. Tools used in surgery to completely replace the worn knee joint of a patient suffering 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 will replace the worn knee with a Zimmer Nexgen Legacy Posterior Stabilized (LPS) prosthetic knee. For images of the surgery see collection number 1526.
