Knee prosthesis surgery (knee arthroplasty) has been performed since the 1960s. The rapid advancements in this field, which began in the 1990s, continue to this day.

In this surgery, the worn surfaces of the knee joint are replaced with artificial surfaces. Knee arthroplasty is one of the most commonly performed orthopedic surgeries today.

After surgery, activities such as swimming and golf are permitted, while running and contact sports are not allowed.

Before deciding on knee prosthesis surgery, it is crucial to discuss with your doctor whether you are an appropriate candidate for the procedure, your expectations from the surgery, the process, the changes you may need to make in your life post-surgery, and any potential complications during or after the surgery.
