Knee replacement surgery resurfaces the bones at the top of your shin (tibia) and the bottom of your thigh (femur) with an implant made of metal and plastic parts.

The top of your shinbone is resurfaced with a metal tray topped with a medical-grade plastic spacer. This plastic replaces the cartilage, providing a smooth surface for your new knee.

An area at the bottom of your thighbone is resurfaced with a rounded metal part. This piece is designed to mimic the curve of your natural bone. The undersurface of the kneecap is also replaced with a medical-grade plastic.

Not for recycling into another leg

This knee replacement has obviously been used and is NOT for reuse. There is residue in some areas; probably glue but I don't know for sure, could be bone tissue.
