Knee Replacement
Knee Replacement, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to replace damaged or worn-out knee joint surfaces with artificial implants. It is recommended for patients with severe knee pain, stiffness, and mobility issues caused by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, injuries, or degenerative joint diseases.

- Stiffness and swelling unresponsive to medications or physiotherapy
- Severe joint damage due to arthritis or trauma
- Reduced mobility and quality of life
Common Causes
- Falls from height or accidents
- Sports injuries
- Direct impact or trauma
- Osteoporosis or weak bones
- Motor vehicle accidents
Treatments
- Immobilization with cast or splint
- Pain management with medications
- Reduction (realigning the bone) if displaced
- Surgery with plates, screws, or rods (if severe)
- Physical therapy for rehabilitation
