Knee Replacement Surgery

Your damaged knee joint can be replaced with new, smooth-surfaced parts called components or implants. They are made of metal and plastic. If only part of your knee joint is affected by arthritis, you may benefit from a partial-knee replacement. The goal of a knee replacement is to get rid of knee pain and to help you be more active.
