What is Total Knee Arthroplasty?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Total knee arthroplasty is a surgical procedure that replaces the arthritic and damaged surfaces of the knee with a special prosthesis. This operation is performed on patients with advanced arthritis who have previously exhausted conservative treatment options (physical therapy, intra-articular injections of hyaluronic acid, PRP, stem cells).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knee arthritis is an inflammatory condition characterized by the destruction of the joint\u2019s structural elements, articular cartilage, menisci, and subchondral bone. The main symptoms are pain, swelling, and stiffness, which can cause significant difficulty in daily life and even severe disability. The knee is one of the joints most commonly affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of Total Knee Arthroplasty is to relieve the patient from pain and restore joint function, allowing them to return to normal daily activities and improve their quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These materials are highly durable and completely biocompatible. The joint parts mimic the natural anatomy of the knee and function like a natural joint.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
