Total knee replacement is a surgical procedure which involves replacing a diseased knee joint with artificial material. The knee is a “hinge” joint that is placed at the point where the thigh meets the shin bone. During a total knee replacement surgery, the end of the thigh bone is removed and replaced with a metal part. Also, the end of the lower leg bone is removed and replaced with a plastic part with a metallic stem. The artificial parts are known as prosthesis and it will help the knee joint to move in the same way as a natural joint.
