What is Total Knee Replacement?
Total Knee Replacement involves removing damaged cartilage and bone from the knee joint and replacing them with metal and plastic implants. The artificial joint replicates the natural mechanics of the knee, reducing pain and restoring full mobility. The procedure is particularly beneficial for patients who have exhausted conservative treatments like medications, injections, or physiotherapy.

Total Knee Replacement offers numerous benefits for patients with severe knee joint conditions:
- Relieves chronic knee pain and discomfort, improving overall comfort.
- Restores knee function, mobility, and stability for walking and daily activities.
- Corrects deformities and misalignment caused by arthritis or trauma.
- Enables safe return to low-impact activities and enhances independence.
- Improves long-term joint health and quality of life with durable implants.

- Physiotherapy begins shortly after surgery to strengthen muscles and restore range of motion.
- Most patients can walk with assistance within a day or two and gradually progress to full weight-bearing.
