Knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a procedure in which a damaged or worn-out knee joint is replaced with an artificial implant.
The surgery is typically recommended for individuals suffering from severe knee arthritis, significant joint pain, or functional limitations that do not respond to conservative treatments. During the procedure, the damaged bone and cartilage are removed and replaced with a metal and plastic prosthesis designed to replicate the natural knee joint’s function.
The goal of knee replacement surgery is to alleviate pain, restore knee function, and improve the patient’s overall quality of life.
Advances in surgical techniques, such as minimally invasive approaches and robotic-assisted surgery, have enhanced recovery times and outcomes for patients undergoing knee replacement.
