Total Knee Replacement
If Knee Joint is severely damaged by arthritis or injury, it can be hard to perform simple activities, such as walking or climbing stairs. One can even begin to feel pain while you are sitting or lying down.
If nonsurgical treatments like medications and using walking supports are no longer helpful, total knee replacement surgery can be considered. Knee replacement surgery is a safe and effective procedure to relieve pain, correct leg deformity, and help resume normal activities.
Total knee replacement surgery was first performed in 1968. Since then, improvements in surgical materials and techniques have greatly increased its effectiveness, becoming one of the most successful procedures in all kinds of surgical procedures.
