Knee care

A new knee joint can help improve mobility and reduce pain. Replacing the damaged surfaces of the knee can relieve pain, correct leg deformity and help resume normal activities.

Depending on the condition of your knee, a total or a half knee replacement may be done. In a half knee operation, only the inner or outer half of your knee is replaced. A total knee replacement is more common.
