Knee replacement surgery
Knee Replacement Surgery is an elective surgical procedure required for people who have significant pain in their knees as a result of arthritis of the knee. The knee joint, the most complex joint in the body, begins to erode due to arthritis. Osteoarthritis, the most common type of arthritis affecting the knees, begins as people enter middle age.
As seen in the diagram below, the knee joint can become severely damaged as the cartilage slowly wears away and the person continues to walk and bear weight on the joint.
Total knee replacement surgery involves a surgical operation in which a knee joint made out of special metal materials and inert plastic is inserted into the damaged parts of the knee, similar to how a tooth is capped. These components are highly specialized and designed to work in perfect synchrony with your knee.
