Knee
Arthroplasty

(Knee Replacement Surgery)
Knee arthroplasty, commonly known as knee replacement surgery, is a procedure to replace damaged or worn-out knee joint surfaces with artificial implants. It is recommended for patients with severe knee pain, stiffness, or loss of function due to arthritis, injury, or joint degeneration. This procedure restores mobility, reduces pain, and significantly improves quality of life.

​

  • Patients experiencing chronic pain and swelling unrelieved by medication or therapy

​

  • People with difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or performing daily activities

​

  • Individuals whose non-surgical treatments have failed
