Thousands of Total Knee Replacement booklets are purchased by hospitals and doctors across the U.S. to give to their patients. These booklets are used in knee replacement preparation classes and by nurse educators. Because hospital and health care budgets are shrinking, Media Partners has decided to make the information available online. We hope it helps with tight education budgets! Media Partners, Inc.
In addition to learning about knee replacement surgery, you can learn about knee anatomy. This will help you to better understand the surgery.
