What is Total Knee Replacement? Read the full explainer →

Total Knee Replacement

A total knee replacement resurfaces the worn ends of the thigh bone and shin bone with metal components separated by a plastic bearing, and usually resurfaces the kneecap as well. It is done to relieve arthritis pain that no longer responds to anything else. The operation takes a couple of hours; getting back to normal takes months.
