What is Knee Replacement Surgery?

Knee Replacement Surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a highly effective surgical procedure aimed at relieving pain and restoring function in severely diseased knee joints.

The procedure involves cutting away damaged bone and cartilage from your thighbone, shinbone, and kneecap and replacing it with an artificial joint (prosthesis) made of metal alloys, high-grade plastics, and polymers.
