What is Total Knee Replacement?
Total Knee Replacement, also known as Total Knee Arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure used when the knee joint has become significantly damaged and conservative treatments are no longer providing adequate relief.
During surgery, the damaged surfaces of the knee joint are carefully removed and replaced with artificial components designed to restore joint movement and stability.
The procedure is planned according to the patient’s knee condition, bone structure, activity level and overall health.
- Damaged joint surfaces are surgically removed.
- Artificial components are positioned within the knee.
- The joint is carefully aligned for appropriate movement.
- Surgical planning is tailored condition-based.
- Rehabilitation begins as part of the recovery pathway.
