You and your Orthopedic Specialists of New Orleans may discuss knee replacement surgery if you have a painful, stiff knee that makes it challenging to perform simple everyday activities and other treatments are no longer effective. This surgery is typically reserved for patients over the age of 50 who suffer with severe osteoarthritis. Knee replacement surgery involves removing all or part of the knee joint and replacing the damaged parts with an artificial joint, constructed from metals and plastics. Although it may take months to recover fully, the relief it provides can last many years or even a lifetime.
