An example of arthroplasty is a knee replacement. The term "arthroplasty," which literally translates to "the surgical repair of a joint," refers to the surgical reconstruction and replacement of worn-out joints with prosthetics or artificial body parts. The knee becomes painful and difficult to move when the articular cartilage is worn out or damaged. The bones collide and rub against one another rather than slide over one another. The patient will experience less pain and their knee will function normally with a prosthesis. The procedure is typically required for one of three reasons: osteoarthritis, an age-related form of arthritis brought on by the normal wear and tear of the knee joint. Patients over the age of 50 are most commonly affected, though it can also affect younger people. Osteoarthritis is brought on by joint cartilage breakdown, inflammation, and eventual cartilage loss. The bones rub against one another as the cartilage deteriorates over time. In order to make up for this, the bones frequently thicken, but this causes more friction and discomfort. Rheumatoid arthritis, also known as inflammatory arthritis, causes the knee joint's lining to thicken and swell. Chronic inflammation erodes cartilage, resulting in stiffness and pain. Post-traumatic arthritis is an arthritic condition brought on by a serious knee injury. The knee cartilage will be impacted if the ligaments or the bones around the knee break.
