Knee Arthroplasty

Knee arthroplasty, also known as knee replacement surgery, is a procedure where damaged or worn parts of the knee joint are removed and replaced with artificial components made of metal, plastic, or ceramic. This surgery aims to relieve pain, improve mobility, and restore function in knees severely affected by arthritis or injury. The procedure involves removing the damaged surfaces of the thigh bone (femur), shin bone (tibia), and kneecap (patella), then attaching the artificial parts to create a smooth, pain-free joint. It is typically performed under anesthesia and requires some recovery time, with many patients experiencing significant symptom relief.
