Total Knee Replacement (TKR)

Knee replacement surgery is a precision procedure designed to relieve pain and restore natural movement. Rather than removing the entire knee, only the worn or deteriorated joint surfaces are carefully reshaped preserving as much of the natural bone structure as possible. These surfaces are then replaced with precisely fitted implants made from medical-grade metal alloys and high-density polyethylene, materials chosen for their durability and ability to replicate the smooth, gliding motion of a healthy knee giving most patients lasting relief from the pain and stiffness that once made everyday activities a challenge.

Who Needs a Total Knee Replacement?

Recommended for patients suffering from severe knee joint damage, primarily due to:

Severe Osteoarthritis

Age-related "wear and tear" arthritis that breaks down the protective cartilage in the knee.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

An autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation, pain, and stiffness in the knee joint.

Post-Traumatic Arthritis

Severe cartilage damage following a serious knee injury or fracture.

Knee Deformities

Conditions like severe "bowlegs" or "knock-knees" that cause debilitating pain and mobility issues.

Benefits of TKR

Recovery & Rehabilitation Timeline

Day 1 - 3

Hospital Stay

Early mobilization begins. Patients are encouraged to stand and walk short distances with a walker within 24 hours of surgery.

Weeks 2 - 6

Home Recovery & Physiotherapy

Continued physical therapy at home to regain knee strength and improve range of motion. Use of walking aids is gradually reduced.

3 - 6 Months

Full Recovery

Resumption of normal daily activities. Pain is minimal, and patients can enjoy low-impact activities like swimming or cycling.

Life After Knee Replacement

Pain-Free Walking

Enjoy shopping, park visits, and daily chores without crippling knee pain.

Better Sleep

Experience restful nights without being woken up by joint aches.

Life After TKR

Traveling Again

Comfortably sit on flights or long car rides without joint stiffness.
