Knee replacement surgery is a procedure in which damaged parts of the knee joint are replaced with artificial components. It may be considered for patients with significant knee joint damage, persistent symptoms and reduced mobility when non-surgical treatment has not provided sufficient relief.
The appropriate treatment depends on the individual’s knee condition, symptoms, imaging findings and overall health.

Understanding Knee Replacement Surgery
Knee replacement surgery is designed to address damage within the knee joint that is causing significant pain, stiffness or difficulty with movement.
Depending on the condition of the knee, a surgeon may consider total knee replacement or partial knee replacement.
The choice depends on the extent and location of joint damage and the patient’s individual clinical assessment.

Partial Knee Replacement
Partial knee replacement replaces the damaged portion of the knee while preserving suitable parts of the remaining joint. It is an option only for selected patients whose pattern and extent of joint damage are appropriate for this approach.
