  2. KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY:- Knee replacement surgery can be defined as the technique to rebuild eroded knee joints. Affected knee joints are no longer able to bear the load and hence fail to carry out functions like walking and running. The major cause of such failure is osteoarthritis. It is a painful condition that pertains to the inflammation of bone joints and cartilages

Post surgery, the patient is kept under observation for 3-4 days and during that time treated further with physiotherapy exercises for post-surgery care in physiotherapy clinic in delhi. The knee replacement can be done using metal alone or with a combination of metal and plastic.

It restricts movements involved in the day to day activities such as bending of knees, walking, bending down, turning sides while sleeping etc. It is most common in the elderly.
