Knee replacement surgery, or knee arthroplasty, involves replacing damaged parts of the knee joint with artificial components to relieve pain and restore function.
What causes knee joint damage? Common causes include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and injuries that lead to degeneration of the knee joint.
During the procedure, the surgeon removes the damaged knee surfaces and replaces them with metal and plastic components, helping to restore alignment and reduce pain.
Modern implants can last up to 15 to 20 years or more with proper care.
Most patients begin walking with assistance within a day or two.
Typically, it’s about 3 to 5 days in the hospital.
