Total Knee Replacement (TKR)

Total Knee Replacement (TKR)

What Is Total Knee Replacement?

Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is a surgical procedure used to relieve persistent knee pain and improve mobility when the knee joint has been severely damaged. During the procedure, damaged portions of the knee joint are removed and replaced with artificial components designed to restore joint function and movement.

When Is Total Knee Replacement Recommended?

Knee replacement may be recommended when pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility significantly affect daily activities and do not improve sufficiently with non-surgical treatments.

  • Severe knee osteoarthritis
  • Persistent knee pain and stiffness
  • Difficulty walking or climbing stairs
  • Reduced knee movement
  • Knee deformity or significant joint damage
  • Limited improvement with medicines or physiotherapy

Benefits of Total Knee Replacement

Total Knee Replacement can help reduce chronic knee pain and improve mobility, allowing patients to return to many everyday activities with greater comfort.

  • Relief from persistent knee pain
  • Improved knee movement and mobility
  • Better ability to perform daily activities
  • Improved quality of life
  • Correction of certain knee deformities
  • Support for a more active lifestyle after recovery

How Is Total Knee Replacement Performed?

The procedure begins with a detailed evaluation of the knee and overall health. During surgery, the damaged surfaces of the knee joint are carefully removed and replaced with artificial components. The surgeon then checks the movement and stability of the joint before completing the procedure.

Recovery After Total Knee Replacement

Recovery after TKR varies from patient to patient. Early movement and a structured physiotherapy program are important for restoring strength, flexibility, and knee function. Your orthopaedic surgeon will provide personalized instructions based on your recovery.

  • Begin movement and exercises as advised by your surgeon
  • Follow the prescribed physiotherapy program
  • Gradually increase walking and daily activities
  • Take prescribed medicines as directed
  • Attend regular follow-up appointments

Is Total Knee Replacement Right for You?

If ongoing knee pain, stiffness, or limited mobility is affecting your daily life, an orthopaedic evaluation can help determine the most appropriate treatment. Your surgeon will assess your knee condition and discuss whether Total Knee Replacement may be suitable for you.
