Knee joint replacement is a surgery that replaces the diseased or injured parts of the knee joint with a prosthesis or an implant. Various conditions such as arthritis (inflammation of the joint), trauma, injury, hemophilia (genetic blood disorder in which blood fails to clot), gout (inflammation of the joint due to deposition of uric acid), and knee deformities with pain and loss of cartilage, can damage the knee joint. This causes severe pain and reduced mobility, affecting daily activities (walking, standing, climbing stairs, etc). Thus, a knee replacement surgery helps relieve chronic pain and restore mobility. While minor cases can be managed with non-surgical treatment measures, other cases would require a knee replacement surgery.
