Knee Replacements

Knee replacement, also known as total knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure used to replace a damaged knee joint with artificial materials. This procedure is often recommended to alleviate pain and improve mobility in cases of severe knee joint damage, typically due to conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or injury.
