Total Knee Replacement Overview

Total knee replacement is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged or worn-out knee joint with an artificial implant to restore function and relieve pain. It is commonly recommended for individuals with severe arthritis, knee deformities, or joint deterioration that make daily activities difficult. The procedure helps improve stability, mobility, and overall quality of life. 

What is Total Knee Replacement

  • Osteoarthritis & rheumatoid arthritis – Progressive joint deterioration causing pain and stiffness. 
  • Severe knee injuries – Trauma that permanently damages the knee joint. 
  • Knee deformities – Bowed legs or other misalignments affecting mobility. 
  • Failed previous knee surgery – When previous procedures no longer provide relief.

How effective is a Total Knee Replacement?
