Overview
Knee arthritis is a condition characterized by the progressive wear and tear of the knee joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. The most common type is osteoarthritis, where cartilage wears away, causing bones to rub together. Other causes include rheumatoid arthritis and post-traumatic arthritis.
When medications, physiotherapy, lifestyle modifications, and other conservative treatments no longer provide adequate relief, Knee Replacement Surgery may be recommended.
