Knee arthritis is more common than hip arthritis.

At Fortis Group of Hospitals the advantage of state-of-art facilities for knee replacement enables our specialist faculty to give medical care and outcomes at par with the best international standards.

The replacement is essentially replacing the worn our cartilage of the knee joint. The ligaments and joint capsule are retained, and the damaged cartilage(knee) and bone is simply resurfaced-using plastic on the end of the shin bone and metallic plate on the bottom of the thigh bone. The artificial knee joint relieves pain, corrects the obvious deformity, and stops the joint from giving way.
