Orthopedics >> Knee Replacement



The knee is one of the more complex joints in the body, and probably the most overused and abused. For activities like stretching and walking to turning and jumping, this amazingly complex joint performs functions like bearing the weight of the body, as well as providing mobility to the legs. Overuse of the knee joint, as well ageing and disease, might cause wear and tear of the joint. Knee Replacement surgery involves the surgical removal of the knee bones, and its replacement with an artificial knee to relieve complications arising out of damage to the knee.

Knee Replacement surgery is necessitated when pain and immobility start to interfere with a person's daily life. With diseases like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and trauma taking their toll on the knee, Knee Replacement is the only way to restore the patient's mobility.

A thorough examination by an experienced orthopedics surgeon is necessary in order to confirm if a person is fit to undergo the procedure.
