Knee joint replacement
Alternative names:
knee arthroplasty; total knee joint replacement
Risks:
People who have a prosthetic device (such as an artificial joint) need to take special precautions against infection. You should carry a medical identification card indicating that you have a prosthetic device. Also, always inform your health care provider of your prosthetic knee joint. You should receive prophylactic antibiotics prior to any dental work or any invasive procedure.
