What Is Knee Replacement Surgery?
Knee replacement surgery, also called knee arthroplasty, removes the damaged cartilage and bone in the knee joint and replaces them with a metal and plastic implant that mimics natural joint movement. It is usually advised for people with severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic joint damage that no longer responds to non-surgical care. The surgery can be partial, replacing only the affected compartment, or total, replacing the entire joint surface. Your surgeon decides which is right after clinical and imaging assessment.

Common Causes That May Require Total Knee Replacement Surgery
Total Knee replacement may be recommended when the joint is severely damaged or worn down. Common causes include:
01
Osteoarthritis
Gradual wear of the cushioning cartilage, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
02
Rheumatoid Arthritis
An autoimmune condition that causes chronic inflammation and damages the joint lining and bone.
03
Post-Traumatic Arthritis
Old fractures or ligament injuries that speed up cartilage breakdown years later.
04
Avascular Necrosis
Reduced blood supply that makes the joint surface collapse, causing pain and deformity.
05
Joint Deformities
Bow legs or knock knees that put uneven stress on the joint and speed up wear.
06
Failed Previous Surgery
Earlier knee procedures that have not resolved symptoms and may need revision surgery.
