When the cartilage has worn away, an artificial knee (called a prosthesis) can take its place. The surgical options to implant the prosthesis are termed partial or total knee replacements. In this section, we discuss total knee replacement. The total knee replacement restores function of the knee by reducing pain and allowing patients to perform their activities of daily living. While the idea of getting an artificial knee joint may be frightening to some, it is one of the safest and most effective surgical procedures available.
