Hip / Knee Replacement Surgeries
When you suffer from a severe Knee or Hip injury or arthritis, the damage and pain can limit your ability to flex your Knee or Hip. Over time, the deterioration of your joint can make it difficult to perform everyday activities. Total Knee/Hip Joint Replacement surgery is a safe and effective solution for people whose Knee/Hip have become too worn out to work properly.
During a total Knee Replacement surgery, the surgeon removes some bone and cartilage from the areas of your thigh bone and shin bone, where they meet at your knee joint. Your knee doctor then replaces the knee area of your thigh bone with a metal implant and the knee area of your shinbone with a plastic implant. Knee replacement also known as Arthroplasty.
