Total Knee Replacement Surgery

What is Total Knee Replacement?

Total knee replacement (TKR) is a sophisticated surgical procedure that replaces a damaged or worn knee joint with an artificial joint (prosthesis). This state-of-the-art procedure is typically recommended for patients suffering from severe arthritis or significant knee trauma. The surgery aims to relieve pain and restore function to the knee joint, allowing patients to return to their daily activities with improved mobility and quality of life.
