Description
A total knee replacement (also known as knee arthroplasty) is a highly successful surgical procedure performed to resurface a knee joint severely damaged by arthritis or physical trauma.
Instead of replacing the entire joint structure, an orthopedic surgeon shaves away the worn-out, diseased cartilage and a small amount of underlying bone from the ends of the thigh bone and shinbone. These damaged surfaces are then capped with durable metal implants and separated by a medical-grade plastic spacer, creating a smooth, low-friction gliding surface that mimics a healthy knee.
