Knee replacement is a surgical procedure in which damaged or worn-out parts of the knee joint are replaced with artificial implants made of metal and durable plastic. These implants help restore smooth movement of the joint and significantly reduce pain.
This surgery is usually recommended for patients suffering from severe arthritis, knee injuries, or joint degeneration when medications, physiotherapy, and other treatments fail to provide relief.
The doctor examines the knee joint through physical examination, medical history, and imaging tests such as X-rays or scans.
During knee replacement surgery, the damaged parts of the knee joint are carefully removed and replaced with artificial implants. These implants help restore smooth joint movement and reduce pain.
