Knee replacement surgery, also known as total knee arthroplasty, is a procedure performed to relieve pain and restore function in patients with advanced knee joint damage. It is most commonly recommended for individuals with severe osteoarthritis, degenerative joint disease, or structural joint deterioration that no longer responds to conservative treatment.
The goal of knee replacement is to remove damaged cartilage and bone surfaces and replace them with precisely aligned implants designed to restore stability, alignment, and motion.
Treatment recommendations are based on clinical examination, diagnostic imaging, symptom severity, and functional limitations.
Conditions Treated
Knee replacement surgery may be recommended for patients with advanced joint damage, chronic pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility caused by arthritis or injury. Each patient is evaluated to determine appropriate treatment options.
- Osteoarthritis of the knee
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Post-traumatic arthritis
- Chronic knee pain and stiffness
- Joint instability or deformity
- Limited mobility affecting daily activities
Accurate diagnosis is confirmed through physical examination and imaging studies such as X-ray or MRI.
