Introduction
Knee replacement, or knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure for repairing a knee that is damaged due to arthritis. Made of metal and composite materials, the kneecap is used to secure the ends of the bones in the knee joint.
It is an operation to replace the weight-bearing surfaces of the knee to reduce discomfort and impairment. Knee conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or osteoarthritis, are the most common.
