Knee replacement

A total knee replacement is a surgical procedure in which the damaged cartilage within the knee joint is replaced by a combination of metal and polyethylene (high-grade medical plastic). The surgery is indicated for patients with severe arthritis and disabling pain that has failed to respond to non-operative or conservative care.
