Why would a ball-and-socket joint at the knees create problems for walking?

There is not a ball and socket joint at the knee. It is a complex hinge joint. The knee joint begins to wear out from walking and carrying most of our weight. As we age, the socket may need to be replaced. If we walked up and down the Empire State Building 10,000 times, that is how much walking we will do in a life time.


Do you need all the bones in a humans body?

No. Many bones can be removed and never replaced, such as the ribs, pieces of the spine, etc. In places where bones have cartilage or tendons, such as in the spine, knees, etc., you can have the bones fused. By having the bone fused, the joint is immobile, but you get to keep your bone(s). Some bones can be removed, but have to be replaced by fake bones or metal parts. This is more common in car crash victims, where bones are crushed and cannot be repaired.

There is a knee cap, formally known as the patella, which is not a bone, and is not connected to any bones, it just floats over them as a form of protection. There is no knee bone. The knee is a joint, not a bone.

If you have knee pain, do you need a replacement?

Without knowing much about the knee pain or your age, I would say that in most cases, knee pain does not require a knee replacement. Often, knee pain can be the result of stress to the knee, mild spraining, or even weak bones. Taking a calcium supplement and avoiding strenuous lifting or other difficult activities for a few days should help the pain. If pain persists after that time, it would be best to see your doctor, but needing a knee replacement is still very unlikely.
