Total knee replacement (Knee arthroplasty)
Total knee replacement, also known as total knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which the damaged surfaces of the joint are replaced with artificial implants made of metal, medical-grade plastic, or ceramic. The goal is to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and restore function when other treatments have not been effective. What sets AV Medical apart is our comprehensive support throughout the entire process—before, during, and after the procedure. This treatment provides significant relief from chronic pain, enhances the ability to walk, stand, and climb stairs, corrects deformities such as varus or valgus, and leads to a substantial improvement in the patient's quality of life.
