artificial knee
Synthetic leg hinge
An artificial knee is a prosthetic joint that replaces a damaged or diseased knee, typically implanted surgically to restore mobility and relieve pain.
Most artificial knees are made of metal alloys and plastic components that mimic the knee's natural hinge motion: She's been walking much better since getting her artificial knee.
Also called knee replacement or knee prosthesis.
