Total Knee Replacement
The knee is the largest joint in the body and is very important, allowing us to walk, run, jump sprint and change direction. It takes a large amount of pressure and stress throughout our lives and as we age, can sometimes lead to issues such as knee osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis is a condition that causes joints to become painful and stiff.
The main symptoms of osteoarthritis are:
- Pain and stiffness
- Difficulty moving the joint
- Swelling
- Tenderness
- Grating/Cracking Sound when moving the joint
If your symptoms become severe and you have tried options such as Physiotherapy. You may need a total knee replacement.
A total knee replacement surgery involves replacing damaged parts of your knee joint with metal or plastic parts.
