Replacement of the Knee

Replacement of the Knee

Replacement of the knee, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure that involves removing damaged or diseased parts of the knee joint and replacing them with artificial components. This procedure is typically performed to relieve severe pain and improve mobility in individuals with conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or injury. Knee replacement surgery can significantly improve the quality of life for patients by reducing pain, increasing mobility, and restoring function to the knee joint. The success rate of knee replacement surgery is high, with most patients experiencing significant improvement in their symptoms and function postoperatively.
