Knee replacement surgery. Surgeon performing total knee replacement surgery on a 60 year old male with osteoarthritis. During the operation prostheses will be implanted into the thigh bone (femur) and shinbone (tibia) to form an artificial knee joint. Knee joints need replacing when the protective cartilage that surrounds them is lost.
