Hi,
knee joint replacement surgery is generally considered a highly successful procedure for individuals who have severe knee pain and limited mobility due to arthritis or other conditions affecting the knee joint. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, more than 90% of people who undergo knee replacement surgery experience a significant reduction in pain and improvement in knee function. However, the success of the procedure can depend on a variety of factors, including the patient's age, overall health, and extent of knee damage. It is important to discuss the potential risks and benefits of knee joint replacement surgery with your orthopedic surgeon to determine if it is the best option for you.
