Information about the procedure
Discover how knee replacement surgery can transform your quality of life by replacing damaged joint surfaces with precision-engineered implants, restoring mobility and reducing pain when conservative treatments haven't provided relief. Our comprehensive resource provides essential information about the procedure, recovery expectations, and important considerations to help you make informed decisions about your knee health in partnership with your medical team.
Your knee is an engineering marvel—a sophisticated hinge joint that bears your body weight while allowing fluid motion between your thigh and lower leg. When this joint becomes damaged, everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, or simply standing can become painful challenges.
If persistent knee pain is limiting your daily activities, we encourage you to consult with your healthcare provider about whether knee replacement surgery might be appropriate for you. Each patient's situation is distinct, and your medical team is well-equipped to assist you in making this decision.
During knee replacement surgery (arthroplasty), your surgeon precisely removes damaged portions of your knee joint and replaces them with custom-fitted artificial components designed to mimic natural movement. This surgery is typically considered when conservative treatments haven't provided adequate relief, particularly for conditions like advanced arthritis, significant trauma, or structural deformities.
Knee replacement surgery aims to restore this natural function and help you return to a more comfortable, active lifestyle.
