EDU: Surgery - Total Knee Replacement

[Guest guest]

Ok, this first link is sort of fun if you can imagine that. It lets you learn

about TKR as a doctor and you " do " the proceedure and then are asked simple

questions that help you understand what you did and why. I did the whole thing.

It's not bloody as it's simulation cartoon sort of graphics however, for those

of you with strong stomachs, there are graphic real pictures.

Here is another animated web site from Arthritis.org showing TKR. It is pretty

much the same as the information above except that you have to read the

information and click on the animation each time something else is done. I liked

the top narration link better and I also liked the interaction with the

proceedure better than this one but some of you may prefer less details and

animation. If so, this link is for you.
