Knee Joint Replacement

Knee joint replacement is a surgical procedure where damaged or worn parts of the knee are removed and replaced with artificial components called prostheses. This operation helps alleviate pain, improve function, and restore mobility for individuals with severe arthritis or injury. The prosthetic knee typically consists of metal and plastic parts that mimic the natural movement of the knee joint. The procedure involves removing damaged cartilage and bone, then attaching the artificial parts to healthy bone. Recovery includes physical therapy to regain strength and flexibility, ultimately enabling patients to perform daily activities with less pain.
