Why Choose Knee Replacement?

If knee pain is making everyday activities difficult—walking, climbing stairs, or even standing up—you may be a candidate for knee replacement surgery. This procedure is designed to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve quality of life.

Signs You May Need a Knee Replacement

  • Chronic knee pain that limits daily activities
  • Stiffness or swelling that doesn’t improve with rest
  • Difficulty walking, even with assistive devices
  • Knee pain that persists despite medication or therapy
  • A noticeable change in knee shape or alignment
