What Is Knee Replacement Surgery?
Knee replacement surgery is also called Knee Arthroplasty. It is a type of surgery done to resurface a knee which has been damaged due to severe arthritis or severe injury. Metal and plastic parts are used to cap the end of the bones that forms the knee joint along with the knee cap.
Aim of knee replacement surgery is to:-
- Reduce the pain
