my mom needs knee replacement surgery but she's really nervous about it how successful is this surgery usually and what are the chances of it working out well for her

Knee replacement surgery is generally very successful and can significantly improve quality of life for patients. Studies show that 90-95% of patients experience significant pain relief and improved function.
