Transforming Lives with Total Knee Replacement (Single)
Total knee replacement, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or diseased knee joint with artificial components. It is commonly performed to relieve pain and restore function in patients with severe arthritis or knee injury. The procedure involves removing damaged bone and cartilage from the thighbone, shinbone, and kneecap, and replacing it with an artificial joint made of metal alloys, high-grade plastics, and polymers. Total knee replacement can significantly improve quality of life by reducing pain, enhancing mobility, and allowing for greater participation in daily activities.
