Total knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is performed to alleviate pain and restore function in a knee joint damaged by injury or conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis. It is typically recommended when conservative treatments like medication or physical therapy no longer provide relief. During the procedure, the surgeon removes damaged cartilage and bone from the knee joint and replaces it with artificial components made of metal alloys, high-grade plastics, or polymers. These components mimic the function of a healthy knee, allowing for smoother movement and reduced pain.
This procedure offers several advantages for individuals suffering from severe knee pain and stiffness. It can significantly improve mobility, allowing patients to engage in daily activities with less discomfort and greater ease. By restoring function to the knee joint, total knee replacement surgery can enhance overall quality of life and provide long-term relief from chronic knee pain. Additionally, advancements in surgical techniques and prosthetic materials have led to improved outcomes and faster recovery times.
