What is Total Knee Replacement?
Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is a surgical procedure in which damaged or worn-out surfaces of the knee joint are removed and replaced with artificial implants made of metal and medical-grade plastic.
This procedure is recommended for patients experiencing severe knee pain, stiffness, and difficulty in walking that does not improve with medication, physiotherapy, or lifestyle changes.
The primary goal of Total Knee Replacement is to reduce pain, improve joint function, and enhance overall quality of life.
