Knee Replacement Surgery in India
Arthroplasty, commonly known as a knee replacement is a surgical procedure wherein the damaged joint surface of the knee is removed and replaced by metal implants. During the procedure, the orthopedic surgeon cuts down the damaged bone and cartilage from the shinbone, thighbone, and kneecap and the complete structure is replaced with an artificial knee joint called knee prosthesis and it is usually manufactured with metal, polymers or plastic. Knee replacement surgery is usually performed on patients suffering from arthritis, injury, or some other joint disease or trauma, after years of enduring knee pain followed by limited mobility. Total knee replacement (TKR) surgery is among the most common joint surgeries in the world
