I have been reading many topics related to knee injury and If you have a hard knee injury then i would like you to have knee replacement.

Let me tell something about knee replacement:

Knee Replacement is a common surgical procedure most often performed to relieve the pain and disability from degenerative arthritis<o></o>, most commonly osteoarthritis, but other arthritides as well. Major causes of debilitating pain include Wikipedia reference-linkmeniscus tears, osteoarthritis, cartilage defects, and ligament tears. Knee replacement surgery can be performed as a partial or a total knee replacement. In general, a knee replacement surgery consists of replacing the diseased or damaged joint surfaces of the knee with metal and plastic components shaped to allow continued motion of the knee.

Total Knee Replacement Surgery is the procedure of implanting an artificial knee (called prosthesis). The damaged cartilage and bone from the surface of knee joint are removed and replaced with new metal and plastic surfaces to restore the alignment and function of the knee. During an average knee replacement surgery, fiber-optic camera (the endoscope) is inserted into the joint through a small incision, about 4 mm (1/8 inch) long. A special fluid is used to visualize the joint parts.

Incapacitating pain from injury or arthritis of the knee that affects everyday activities -- particularly walking and standing -- is the main reason to consider knee replacement.
