Total Knee Replacement

Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is a surgical procedure done to relieve pain and restore mobility in patients suffering from severe knee joint problems. It involves replacing the damaged or worn-out parts of the knee joint with artificial components.

This procedure is often recommended for patients with advanced arthritis, injury-related damage, or other chronic joint conditions where medication or physiotherapy no longer provide relief. After the surgery, most patients experience a noticeable improvement in movement and quality of life.

Benefits for Patients

  • Reduction in chronic pain
  • Improved ability to walk and climb stairs
  • Better joint function and flexibility
  • Support for a more active lifestyle
  • Long-term relief and improved independence
