| If an infection occurs and a prosthesis has to be removed, it is extremely difficult to perform the operation again because of scar tissue. |
| Cementless fixation depends on prosthesis design plus ingrowth and overgrowth of bone to biologically bind the prosthesis to the skeleton. |
| With the laser, the neomembrane and scar can be safely removed and the new prosthesis can be accurately placed. |
| When aligned, the surgeon drilled into the medullary canal of the tibia and seated the tibial prosthesis. |
| With that he yanked up the trouser of his right leg to expose the prosthesis that was there. |
| Technically, it's very similar to the prosthesis I have now, except for one major difference. |
