Knee replacement surgery, also known as arthroplasty, is a standard procedure that replaces a worn, damaged, or dysfunctional knee with an artificial joint. Metal and plastic components and the kneecap are utilized to cap the ends of the bones that make up the knee joint. Someone with severe arthritis or a severe knee injury may benefit from this procedure.
Joints are the points at which two or more bones come together. The majority of joints are movable, which allows the bones to move. The knee comprises two long leg bones that are held together by muscles, ligaments, and tendons. A layer of cartilage covers each bone end, absorbing shock and protecting the knee. The quadriceps muscles (located on the front of the thighs), which straighten the legs, and the hamstring muscles (placed on the back of the thighs), which bend the leg at the knee, are both involved in the knee. Tendons are thick connective tissue cords that connect bones and muscles. Ligaments are tissue bands that join one bone to another. Some knee ligaments give joint stability and protection, while others limit the tibia’s forward and backward movement (shin bone).
