Knee arthroplasty is a type of total knee replacement often performed to relieve painful symptoms and restore mobility in a joint affected by severe, progressive arthritis. During knee arthroplasty, the damaged components of the knee joint and surrounding cartilage are removed and replaced with an artificial joint made of high-quality biocompatible materials.
