Understanding Knee Replacement
What is a Knee Replacement?
Total Knee Replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a procedure designed to replace a damaged knee joint with an artificial one. This surgery is typically recommended for patients suffering from severe knee pain and mobility issues caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or knee injuries.

How is the Surgery Performed?
During total knee replacement surgery, Mr Obakponovwe will remove the damaged cartilage and bone from the knee joint and replace them with prosthetic components.
