Orthopedic surgery or orthopedics is the branch of surgery concerned with conditions involving the musculoskeletal system. Orthopedic surgeons use both surgical and nonsurgical means to treat musculoskeletal trauma, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors, and congenital disorders.

If you have a knee that has been severely damaged by arthritis, injury or simple wear and tear, and if knee pain and stiffness limits your activity, you might consider a total knee replacement. Most people who have total knee replacement surgery experience improvement in knee pain, range of motion and the ability to perform the activities of daily life.To perform a knee replacement, a surgeon caps the ends of the damaged thigh bone (femur) and lower leg bone (shin), and usually the kneecap (patella), with artificial surfaces lined with metal and plastic.Many different types of implant designs and materials are used in knee replacement surgeries. Your surgeon will select the best type for you based on factors such as your age, weight and desired level of activity.Knee replacement surgeries can be divided into three basic types: partial, traditional and minimally invasive.
