The knee is the largest joint in our body, and years of wear and tear or injuries can cause severe damage to our knee joint to the point that our knee loses its functionality and using it brings pain and even harm to our health. One of the possible ways to remedy the situation is to undergo a knee replacement surgery.
According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS), every year, around 800,000 people in the United States undergo such a surgery to replace their injured or worn out knee joints. And currently, over 90 percent of modern knee replacements are still functioning properly 15 years after the surgery.
