What is Total Knee Replacement (TKR)?

Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is a surgical procedure in which a damaged or worn-out knee joint is replaced with an artificial joint (prosthesis). This procedure is performed to relieve severe knee pain, restore mobility, and improve the overall quality of life.

Who Needs TKR?

TKR is recommended for individuals who experience:

Severe knee pain that affects daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or standing.
Stiffness or limited range of motion in the knee.
Chronic knee inflammation that does not improve with medications or other treatments.
Knee deformity, such as bowing in or out.
Conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis that lead to joint damage.
