A knee replacement is a type of surgical procedure that involves replacing the knee with a metal implant. This is a commonly performed procedure for knee pain that is caused by wear and tear on the knee joint. This surgery replaces a worn-out knee joint, relieves pain, and improves range of motion when other, non-surgical treatments have been unsuccessful. The surgery is a safe procedure with limited complications. Possible risks may include allergic reactions and infections.
