What Is Knee Replacement?

Knee replacement is a surgical procedure in which the worn or damaged surfaces of the knee joint are replaced with artificial components. This treatment is designed to alleviate persistent pain, improve joint function, and help patients regain stability and movement. Knee replacement is particularly recommended for patients with advanced osteoarthritis or severe joint degeneration.

Procedure

During the procedure, the damaged bone and cartilage are removed, and a specially designed prosthetic implant is fitted to mimic the natural motion of the knee. The alignment of the joint is corrected, and the surrounding tissues are stabilised. Post-surgery, patients undergo structured physiotherapy and rehabilitation to strengthen the muscles around the knee and restore flexibility.

Why It Happens

Knee joint problems develop gradually due to the natural wear and tear of the cartilage and soft tissues that cushion the joint. Over time, the cartilage can thin or deteriorate, leading to stiffness, inflammation, and severe discomfort. Injuries or past trauma can also accelerate joint damage, while long-term stress on the knees from lifestyle or work can contribute to the degeneration of the joint
