Total knee replacement is a procedure that replaces a dysfunctional knee joint and eliminates the damaged surfaces that are causing pain. Knee joint replacement may be recommended for: knee osteoarthritis or arthritis; decreased knee function and some knee fractures. Knee joint replacement may also be recommended for someone who is unable to work, sleep through the night or walk more than three blocks because of knee pain.
