Introduction

• Knee replacement is a surgery for people with
  severe knee damage.
• Knee replacement can relieve pain and allow you
  to be more active.
• Knee replacement surgery- also known as knee
  arthroplasty. It can help relieve pain and
  restore function in severely diseased knee
  joints.
• During knee replacement, a surgeon cuts away
  damaged bone and cartilage from your thighbone,
  shinbone and kneecap and replaces it with an
  artificial joint made of metal alloys, high grade
  plastics and polymers.
