An arthroplasty, also known as a unilateral removal and replacement of knee bones, is a joint replacement surgery that involves trimming and removing portions of damaged, swollen bone within the thigh, kneecap, and shin in one leg. The doctor then replaces these areas with artificial joints made of metal or plastic to realign the remaining bones.
Physician order required. Please do not order until "Orthopedic Surgeon / Doctor Visit" with chosen doctor has been completed.
