Description
Knee replacement surgery, a common orthopedic procedure, involves replacing damaged or worn-out knee joints with artificial implants. The surgery is typically recommended for individuals with severe arthritis, joint degeneration, or injuries causing significant pain and impaired mobility. During the procedure, the damaged surfaces of the knee joint are removed and replaced with prosthetic components. This surgery aims to alleviate pain, restore joint function, and improve overall quality of life. Patients undergo a thorough pre-operative evaluation to determine candidacy, and the surgery itself is performed under anesthesia. Recovery involves post-operative care, physical therapy, and gradual return to normal activities. Knee replacement has a high success rate, providing long-lasting relief for many individuals. While risks and complications exist, advancements in surgical techniques and prosthetic materials contribute to improved outcomes. Consultation with a qualified orthopedic surgeon helps determine the most suitable approach for individual cases.
