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.
