Total Knee Replacement Surgery
Total knee replacement is a surgical procedure in which the arthritic or damaged knee joint is removed and replaced with an artificial knee joint called a prosthesis. The artificial joint is designed to move just like a healthy human joint. Performed since the 1960s, total knee replacements now result in virtually pain-free living for over 90% of patients, enabling them to return to normal functioning and enjoy favorite activities once again.
The modern total hip replacement was invented in 1962 by Sir John Charnley, an orthopedic surgeon working in a small country hospital in England.
Preventing Possible Complications of Surgery
The complication rate following knee replacement surgery is very low. Serious complications, such as joint infection, occur in less than 1% of patients.
- Infection
- Blood Clots
