Total Knee Replacement

A surgical procedure in which the damaged surfaces of the knee joint are removed and replaced with artificial components made of metal alloys, high-grade plastics, and polymers. Total knee replacement is primarily performed to relieve severe pain and disability caused by advanced osteoarthritis. Total knee replacement, also called total knee arthroplasty, is one of the most successful and commonly performed orthopedic surgeries. The procedure involves resurfacing the ends of the femur (thighbone) and tibia (shinbone) with precision-shaped metal components and inserting a plastic spacer between them to create a smooth gliding surface.
