This is where you will come to have your surgery performed. The visits to your surgeon before and after surgery will be at their consulting rooms.
Knee Replacement
An incision (cut) is made on the front of the knee to allow the surgeon access to the knee joint. The damaged and painful areas of the thigh bone (femur) and lower leg bone (tibia), including the knee joint, are removed and replaced with metal and plastic parts.
