What Is Knee Replacement?
Knee replacement is a surgical procedure in which the damaged surfaces of the 
knee joint are replaced with artificial implants. The procedure aims to relieve 
chronic pain, improve mobility, and help patients regain an active and 
independent lifestyle.
It is one of the most effective treatment options for advanced knee arthritis when 
non-surgical treatments no longer provide relief.
