Knee replacement or arthroplasty,
A knee replacement is a procedure in which the patient's damaged joint is completely replaced. One of the most common causes for patients to have knee replacement surgery is severe knee pain due to injury, accident, chronic illness, or wear and tear on the knee joint, which is itself caused by many factors such as the location of the knee pain. Which may depend on the back of the knee, below the knee, patella, or…orthe age of the person, because knee wear is usually directly related to aging.
This surgery is performed when the discomfort caused by stress and arthritis of the knee can not be controlled with non-surgical treatment and severely affects the patient's quality of life.
The function of these artificial joints is normal and they usually have a long life depending on the conditions and how they are used. But if the joint becomes overloaded during life due to overweight, strenuous physical exercise, etc., it will break, dislocate or separate.
