What is the surgical replacement of parts or all of the injured knee?

• A. Knee Replacement
• B. Hip Replacement
• C. Fracture
• D. Blood Clot

Answer: (A)

Replacing parts or all of the injured knee is called knee replacement. This surgery removes damaged bone and cartilage from the knee joint and replaces it with artificial components to restore smooth movement and reduce pain. There are two main forms: partial knee replacement, which targets only the damaged part of the knee, and total knee replacement, which replaces the entire joint. Other terms point to different ideas: hip replacement is surgery for the hip joint, not the knee; a fracture is a break in a bone; a blood clot is a potential complication that can occur after knee surgery, not the procedure itself.
