The firm cartilage thins as a result of arthritis' wear and tear on it. Your bones may start to rub against one another and become worn in some areas where the cartilage has worn away. During a knee replacement operation, the worn ends of the bones and any remaining hard cartilage are removed and replaced with metal and plastic components. Your joint is able to move freely because the plastic performs a similar role to hard cartilage. The parts of the artificial joint lock together to provide.
