Knee replacement surgery, also known as arthroplasty, involves resurfacing damaged knee components with substitutes made of metal alloy. The primary goal is to relieve persistent pain and enhance mobility for individuals with compromised knee function. Common reasons include osteoarthritis, age-related issues, rheumatoid arthritis, severe knee injuries, or deformities. Surgeons assess the condition's severity to determine the type of replacement— total or partial— for each case.
