Total knee replacement, also called total knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which the worn out or damaged surfaces of the knee joint are removed and replaced with artificial parts.
Total knee replacement surgery is commonly indicated for severe osteoarthritis of the knee. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of knee arthritis in which the joint cartilage gradually wears away. It often affects older people.
In a normal joint, articular cartilage allows for smooth movement within the joint, whereas in an arthritic knee, the cartilage itself becomes thinner or completely absent. In addition, the bones become thicker around the edges of the joint and may form bony “spurs”. These factors can cause pain and restrict range of motion in the joint.
Total hip replacement surgery often known as total hip arthroplasty. The goal of most hip replacements is to reduce hip pain due to arthritis.
In Hip replacement surgery, the surgeon re-surfaces the bones that form the ball-and-socket of the hip joint. When complete, the prosthetic ball fits into the prosthetic hip socket to create a new hip joint.

Arthroscopic surgery is also known as arthroscopy. It is a minimally invasive operative procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems/diseases. It involves the use of a narrow scope, called an arthroscope, and using specialized surgical tools to access a joint through tiny “keyhole” incisions.
Because arthroscopic surgery requires small incisions than open surgery, recovery time is usually shorter.
