Total Knee Replacement
Total Knee pain and stiffness can significantly impact daily life, making even simple tasks like walking or climbing stairs difficult. Over time, conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or severe joint injuries can wear down the cartilage in the knee, leading to chronic pain, swelling, and limited mobility. When conservative treatments such as medications, physical therapy, and injections fail to provide relief, total knee replacement surgery becomes a reliable solution.
Total knee replacement, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which damaged parts of the knee joint are replaced with artificial components, called prostheses. These components mimic the natural movement of the knee, allowing the joint to function smoothly. The surgery aims to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve the overall quality of life. Total knee replacement is one of the most successful and commonly performed Orthopaedic procedures, offering long-lasting results for those suffering from severe knee joint damage.
