A patient undergoes knee replacement surgery at a West Midlands hospital, after being diagnosed with irreparable damage to her knee joint. The damaged tissue was removed using a saw to cut away the ends of the Femur and Tibia and then replace them using a special cement, with stainless steel joints. This picture is part of a series showing the whole procedure.
