Total Knee Replacement

As one of the largest joints in the body, the knee is often subjected to excessive strain, making knee injuries some of the most common joint problems treated by orthopedic doctors. When nonsurgical and minimally invasive procedures are not enough, the orthopedic knee specialists at Advanced Surgical Center of Central Iowa provide total knee arthroplasty. This safe and effective procedure is used to treat knee pain and lack of mobility caused by high-intensity activities, overuse and disease.

Common Sources of Knee Pain

The knee consists of bones, tendons, ligaments, cartilage and fluid sacs that work together to carry your body weight while you move or stand. While knee injuries are common in athletes, the most common cause of chronic knee pain and disability is arthritis.
