Knee osteoarthritis might be the most possible diagnosis of your pain in the knees. It is described as degeneration of the knee’s articular cartilage—the flexible, slippery material that normally protects bones from joint friction and impact. The condition also involves changes to the bone underneath the cartilage and can affect nearby soft tissues.
Treatment includes non-operative and operative options. Today we will brief you about total knee replacement surgery. Total knee replacement is a surgical procedure in which damaged parts of the knee joint are replaced with artificial joint.
