Knee Replacement Procedure

An IV (intravenous) tube is placed in a vein in your hand or arm for medications and sedation to prepare you for Knee Replacement surgery. You will be given an injection that makes you sleepy. Once in the operating room, the anesthesiologist administers a general anesthesia so you'll be asleep during the operation.

The damaged knee is placed in a bent position in order to completely expose the knee joint surface. The orthopedic surgeon then makes an 8- to 10-inch incision along the kneecap, effectively exposing the knee joint. The surgeon then chips or cuts away the damaged joint surface, and inserts and attaches a new artificial joint into the knee cavity.

List of Required Pre-op Tests for Knee Replacement

The laboratory tests should be done at least 7-10 days prior to the procedure. The particular tests are prescribed after a complete physical evaluation of the patient. The list of pre-op tests are:

• Orthopedic pre-operative physical exam
• Knee X-ray
• Complete blood count, to rule out anemia
• Urinalysis
• Coagulation testing
• Baseline metabolic analysis of kidneys, liver, and electrolyte status
