Cuando las actividades diarias normales, como caminar y subir escaleras, son difíciles debido al dolor en las rodillas, generalmente causado por artritis o lesión, el reemplazo total de rodilla es una opción. Usado con mayor frecuencia cuando el dolor y la rigidez no mejoran con medicamentos u otros tratamientos, la articulación de la rodilla (que es la articulación más grande del cuerpo) se reemplaza por partes artificiales para restaurar el movimiento sin dolor.
