This surgery may be considered for someone who has severe arthritis or a severe knee injury.
Various kinds of arthritis may affect the knee joint.include
• Osteoarthritis,
• Rheumatoid arthritis,

Osteoarthritis,

A disease which may cause breakdown of joint cartilage and adjacent bone in the knees. Is termed “Osteoarthritis”
Rheumatoid arthritis,
(inflammation of the synovial membrane is termed ” Rheumatoid arthritis,”)
Rheumatoid arthritis causes inflammation of the synovial membrane (Synovial membrane. A tissue that lines the joint and seals it into a joint capsule. The synovial membrane secretes synovial fluid (a clear, sticky fluid) around the joint to lubricate it.) and results in excessive synovial fluid, can lead to pain and stiffness. Traumatic arthritis, arthritis due to injury, may cause damage to the cartilage of the knee.

Reasons for the procedure (KNEE REPLACEMENT)

Reasons for the procedure Knee replacement surgery is a treatment for pain and disability in the knee. The most common condition that results in the need for knee replacement surgery is osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is characterized by the breakdown of joint cartilage. Damage to the cartilage and bones limits movement and may cause pain. People with severe degenerative joint disease may be unable to do normal activities that involve bending at the knee, such as walking or climbing stairs, because they are painful. The knee may swell or "give-way" because the joint is not stable. Other forms of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis and arthritis that results from a knee injury, may also lead to degeneration of the knee joint. In addition, fractures, torn cartilage, and/or torn ligaments may lead to irreversible damage to the knee joint. If medical treatments are not satisfactory, knee replacement surgery may be an effective treatment.
