Knee replacement surgery — also
known as knee arthroplasty
(ARTH-row-plas-tee) — can help relieve pain and restore
function in severely diseased knee joints. During knee replacement, a surgeon
cuts away damaged bone and cartilage from your thighbone, shinbone and kneecap
and replaces it with an artificial joint made of metal alloys, high-grade
plastics and polymers.
