The hip is one of the main articulations of the human body . Constituted essentially by the femoral head and the acetabulum (the latter being a concave-shaped bone within which the femoral head is inserted), the hip connects the trunk with the lower limbs and allows the human being to stand standing, walking, running etc

The knee is one of the main joints of the human body . In fact, situated between the distal portion of the femur (superiorly) and the proximal portion of the tibia (inferiorly), it allows the movement of the legs (together with the hip) and absorbs most of the weight exercised by the trunk. Like any joint, the knee is also made up of ligaments , tendons and cartilage , each of which has an indispensable function

Located between the distal portion of the femur (superiorly) and the proximal portion of the tibia (inferiorly), the knee is one of the main joints of the human body . In fact, together with the hip, it allows the movement of the legs and absorbs most of the weight exercised by the trunk. When the health of one or both knees is severely impaired (due, for example, to osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis ), the conditions exist for implanting a prosthesis

Like any joint, the knee is also made up of ligaments , tendons and cartilage , each of which has a fundamental function that cannot be ignored

Implanted when the health of one or both knees is severely impaired, modern knee implants are designed to last from 10 to even 20 years . After this time (or sooner, if complications have arisen or if the prosthetic implant has not been treated), they must be replaced with similar elements. The surgery to replace a deteriorated and / or malfunctioning knee prosthesis is called revision

A tendon is a band of connective tissue that connects a muscle to a bone. The Achilles tendon is that band of connective tissue that joins the calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) to the heel. The inflammation of the Achilles tendon , or yarrow tendinitis , is a typical overuse injury that occurs due to a continuous strain on the tendon in question
