What is knee replacement?

Knee replacement is the process of replacing the damaged modules of a human knee with artificial modules usually made of plastic and metal. The need of knee replacement arises when these damaged parts begin to cause pain, discomfort and reduced mobility.

There are various types of knee Replacement Surgery depending upon the extent up to which parts of the knee are replaced:

• Total Knee Replacement : In total knee replacement the joint surface at the end of Femur (thigh bone) and the joint surface at the beginning of Tibia (Shin bone) is replaced.
