Overview
Knee Replacement Surgery is a procedure performed to replace damaged or worn-out knee joint surfaces with artificial implants. It is commonly recommended for patients suffering from severe knee arthritis, chronic knee pain, or joint damage that limits mobility and affects daily activities. The surgery helps relieve pain, restore function, and improve quality of life.
