During the procedure, which is typically performed under anesthesia, the surgeon makes an incision over the knee joint. The damaged or worn-out surfaces of the thigh bone (femur) and shinbone (tibia) are removed, and a metal and plastic prosthesis is implanted in their place. This prosthesis serves as an artificial joint, restoring the natural movement of the knee.| The primary objective of a total knee replacement is to alleviate pain and improve the patient's ability to move and bear weight on the affected knee. The surgery can result in significantly improved quality of life for individuals who were previously hindered by knee pain and limited mobility. Patients typically undergo a period of post-operative rehabilitation and physical therapy to regain strength and mobility in the knee joint. Total knee replacement is considered a highly effective and common procedure for addressing severe knee joint conditions, particularly in cases of osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. While the specific approach and techniques used may vary based on the patient's condition and the surgeon's expertise, the ultimate goal is to provide effective relief from pain and an enhanced range of motion in the knee joint.
