What Is Knee Replacement Surgery ?

Knee replacement surgery is the most common joint replacement procedure. Well over a half 1 million knee replacement surgical procedures are performed every year in the United States. Many people have knee arthritis, but it can be difficult to know when the right time to have a knee replacement surgery is. Furthermore, there is confusion about what to expect from knee replacement surgery. Do you have questions? Look no further.

What Is The Total Knee Replacement ?

When you have a knee injury or arthritis, particularly osteoarthritis, the damage, inflammation, and pain can limit your ability to flex and extend your knees. Over time, the deterioration of your joint and surrounding tissue can make it difficult to perform basic daily activities, even sitting and lying down. Knee replacement surgery is a common solution for people whose knees have become too worn from this deterioration.

Knee replacement provides dramatic pain relief for more than 90 percent of those who’ve undergone this surgery. Most of these procedures are done to replace knees damaged by osteoarthritis. Total knee replacement is considered one of the safest and most effective procedures in orthopedics.

What Is Treatment ?

Knee replacement surgery involves replacing damaged knee joint surfaces with artificial implants. It's used for severe arthritis or joint damage. Surgery aims to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life. Post-surgery rehabilitation is crucial for optimal recovery and function restoration.
