Knee replacement is where portions of the bones that form the knee joint are removed and replaced with artificial implants. It is performed primarily to relieve knee pain and stiffness caused by osteoarthritis.

Most people who get this surgery have advanced knee Arthritis, in which the knee cartilage is worn away and the surface of the knee becomes pitted, eroded, and uneven. This causes pain, stiffness, instability and a change in body alignment. Knee replacement surgery can also help some people who have a weakened knee joint caused by an injury or other condition.

A replacement is something that is something that is taking the place of something that is missing, or absent. Example: In the pancake recipe, if you didn't have any milk, you could replace it with water.

Replacement, Replace, Replacing.
