What is Knee Replacement Surgery?
Knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, involves replacing worn-out or damaged parts of the knee joint with artificial implants made of metal and medical-grade plastic. This procedure aims to relieve chronic knee pain, restore function, and improve mobility for people suffering from severe joint damage.

- Improved knee function and mobility.
- Better sleep, independence, and quality of life.

- High success rates and durable implant life of 15–20 years or more.

Why Do People Need Knee Replacement Surgery?
Over time, the knee joint can deteriorate due to age, injury, or arthritis. You may need a knee replacement if:
- You experience chronic knee pain that affects your quality of life.
- There is persistent swelling or stiffness that limits joint movement.
- Your mobility is impaired, making daily tasks challenging.
- Non-surgical treatments, such as medications and physiotherapy, have failed.
- Knee deformities such as bow-legs or knock-knees are present.

You may be an ideal candidate if:
- You’re above 50 and suffer from advanced osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
- You’ve had prior injuries or fractures that have affected your knee.
- You want to return to an active, pain-free lifestyle.
- Your X-rays show joint space narrowing, bone spurs, or deformities.
- You’re in overall good health and medically fit for surgery.
