Knee Replacement Surgery

A surgical procedure to replace a damaged knee joint with an artificial implant, relieving pain and improving mobility.

Total knee replacement involves the removal of damaged cartilage and bone in the knee joint and replacing them with metal and plastic implants to restore smooth movement and reduce pain. It is commonly performed on patients with severe arthritis or joint degeneration that impacts daily activities.

What Is It?

A knee replacement is recommended for patients with chronic knee pain, stiffness, and limited mobility due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or joint injury. It allows patients to regain movement and live pain-free.
