knee implants
Artificial leg joints
Knee implants are artificial devices surgically inserted to replace damaged knee joints, typically due to severe arthritis or injury.
The procedure, called knee replacement or knee arthroplasty, substitutes worn cartilage and bone with metal and plastic components: She's been walking much better since getting her knee implants.
Most implants are designed to last fifteen to twenty years.
