What really happens during a total knee replacement?
If chronic knee pain is limiting your ability to walk, climb stairs or enjoy everyday activities, you may have wondered what happens during a knee replacement procedure.
Modern total knee replacement surgery is designed to relieve pain, restore movement and help patients return to the activities they love. During the procedure, damaged joint surfaces are carefully replaced with precision-engineered implants that recreate the smooth movement of a healthy knee.
