Knee Replacement Surgery

Knee replacement surgery is a procedure designed to relieve pain and improve function in severely damaged knees, often caused by arthritis. During the surgery, the damaged joint surfaces are removed and replaced with artificial components made of metal and plastic. This new joint mimics the movement of a healthy knee, reducing pain and increasing mobility. The procedure typically involves anesthesia, and recovery includes physical therapy to strengthen the knee and restore movement. Knee replacement can significantly enhance quality of life for those with chronic knee issues, enabling more comfortable movement and activity.
