Topic: partial knee replacement
Orthopaedic surgery describes any kind of surgery performed on the musculoskeletal system that includes the bones and joints. It also includes surgery to the ligaments, tendons and muscles that allow the bones and joints to move.
Knee pain can be caused by a number of different factors including sprains and strains, tendonitis, a torn ligament or cartilage damage.
Knee replacement surgery is now a relatively common procedure. The average age for a knee replacement is 70, but thanks to improving technology and outcomes, an increasing number of people are choosing to have surgery at a younger age.
