Joint Replacement-Total knee Replacement

Total knee replacement, a common orthopedic procedure, involves surgically replacing damaged knee joint surfaces with artificial components. It’s often recommended for individuals with severe arthritis or significant knee damage. During surgery, the damaged parts of the knee joint, including bone and cartilage, are removed and replaced with metal and plastic implants. These implants mimic the natural movement of the knee, allowing for improved function and reduced pain. Recovery typically involves physical therapy, pain management, and gradual return to activities. While total knee replacement can significantly enhance quality of life for those with debilitating knee conditions, it’s important to consider potential risks and benefits with a healthcare provider. Complications, although rare, may include infection, blood clots, or implant failure. However, for many, total knee replacement offers long-term relief and improved mobility, enabling individuals to return to a more active and pain-free lifestyle.
