I'm fascinated by what is possible these days with artificial joints. This site (http://www.bonesmart.org/knee_replacement.php) provides a useful introduction into the various ways in which knee joints can be repaired or even replaced completely. According to the authors, total knee replacement offers the greatest quality of life improvement of all operations, has one of the highest success rates and one of the best outcomes...
The site itself is provides an interesting example of the type of information that potential patients might want or need before taking the decision to have an implant.
