A Knee replacement surgery relieves pain and restores near-normal range of motion and function in the affected joint. It involves removing the damaged cartilage and bone at the end of long bones and replacing them with an artificial metal joint. Hip, knee, and shoulder replacements are the most common among joint replacement surgeries. However, fingers, ankles, and elbows can also be replaced.
Reasons for Joint Problems:
- Degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis
- Inflammatory conditions like Rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, gout, ankylosing spondylitis etc.
- Traumatic conditions causing cartilage & ligament damage in the joints
