Total Knee Replacement
Get Back to Living Without Knee Pain
Almost every movement you make—walking, climbing stairs, sitting down, or getting back up—depends on healthy, pain-free knees. When knee pain gets in the way, even everyday activities can feel difficult or impossible.
When knee pain and stiffness become too much, total knee replacement is a highly effective procedure designed to relieve that pain, restore mobility, and improve quality of life for people with severe knee arthritis or injury. When nonsurgical treatments such as medications, physical therapy, or injections are no longer enough, knee replacement can offer lasting relief—allowing patients to return to everyday activities with greater comfort and confidence.
Why Knee Pain Happens
Over time, the knee joint can wear down due to:
- Past sports injuries
- Repetitive stress from athletic activity
- Conditions like Osteoarthritis or Rheumatoid arthritis
- Contributing factors such as excess weight or weak supporting muscles
This damage (called arthritis) can cause pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility—making it hard to enjoy the life you love.
Exploring Your Options
Before surgery, many people benefit from conservative treatments, such as:
- Physical therapy to build strength and improve flexibility
- Weight loss to reduce stress on the joints
- Medications or injections to relieve pain
At Center for Sports Medicine & Orthopaedics (CSMO), our specialists will guide you through these options. If these treatments no longer provide relief—or if your pain is severe—total knee replacement surgery may be the next step.
