Knee Replacement Surgery

What is the Knee Joint and Why is it Important?

Your knee is a powerful, weight-bearing joint where your thigh bone (femur), shin bone (tibia), and kneecap (patella)come together. It’s supported by ligaments and cartilage, which act as natural shock absorbers and keep your movement fluid.

When the cartilage wears down due to arthritis, injury, or age, everyday tasks like walking or climbing stairs can become painful or impossible. That’s when knee replacement may be the right solution.

How is the Procedure Done?

Knee replacement surgery involves removing damaged bone and cartilage and replacing them with a custom-fitted artificial joint made from durable materials like metal alloys and high-grade plastic.
