As a person ages, there is a slight wear down of tissues in our bodies. Having said that, not only adults but even youngsters may suffer from arthritis. Due to severe injuries in and around joints , it limits the movement. Activities those involve the movement of joints becomes restricted. One of the damage would be on knee joints. When all the other nonsurgical methods fail to relieve pain, the orthopaedist may recommend to undergo Knee replacement surgery (arthroplasty).
Knee replacement surgery involves removal of the diseased/damaged bone from kneecap, shinbone or thighbone. It is replaced with an artificial joint (prosthesis). To replace the knee with an artificial joint, the orthopaedic surgeon asks for an X-ray, imaging the knee, where the overall strength, stability, capability to move, is monitored.
