Abstract: In the article, we study Fintushel-Stern's knot surgery four-manifold $ E(n)_K$ and its monodromy factorization. For fibered knots we provide a smooth classification of knot surgery 4-manifolds up to twisted fiber sums. We then show that other constructions of $ 4$-manifolds with the same Seiberg-Witten invariants are in fact diffeomorphic.
