Knee pain can make everyday tasks feel impossible. For many patients suffering from chronic knee issues, knee replacement surgery offers a path to a pain-free life. At Black Rock Orthopedics, we specialize in advanced knee procedures tailored to your needs, ensuring the highest level of care and outcomes.
What Is Knee Replacement Surgery?
Knee replacement surgery, or knee arthroplasty, is a procedure where damaged cartilage and bone are removed and replaced with artificial components. It’s commonly performed on patients with severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or traumatic injury to the knee joint.
According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), more than 790,000 knee replacements are performed annually in the U.S.
Signs You May Need Knee Replacement
- Persistent knee pain during rest or activity
- Limited range of motion
- Knee stiffness after periods of inactivity
- Swelling that doesn’t subside
- Reduced quality of life due to joint pain

Recovery and Rehabilitation
