 What is Knee Replacement Surgery? Knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a medical procedure performed to replace a damaged or worn-out knee joint with an artificial implant.

FibroScan—also known as transient elastography—is a non-invasive, ultrasound-based test designed to evaluate liver health, particularly its stiffness (fibrosis) and fat content (steatosis).    How It Works A special probe (transducer) is positioned on your skin over the liver. It emits low-frequency vibrations (shear waves) and uses ultrasound to measure how fast they move through the liver. Faster wave speeds suggest increased stiffness, which typically indicates more scarring (fibrosis). It can also provide a CAP score (Controlled Attenuation Parameter) to quantify fat accumulation in the liver. Usually takes 5–15 minutes. Requires fasting for about 2–3 hours beforehand. You lie down, expose your right upper abdomen, and the technician applies gel and places the probe. You may be asked to hold your breath for 10–15 seconds during measurements. Benefits Quick, painless, and safe — no needles or sedation. Immediate results, enabling doctors to make prompt m...
