Total knee replacement, also known as total knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure performed when the knee joint needs to be replaced. In this procedure, damaged bone and cartilage in the knee joint are surgically removed and replaced with a prosthesis. Total knee replacement is performed to provide long-term relief and improved mobility to individuals experiencing pain, limited mobility, and loss of function due to knee joint damage.


Total knee replacement surgery is typically performed in cases of severe knee pain and limited mobility resulting from conditions such as knee osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, post-traumatic osteoarthritis, among others. This procedure alleviates pain by reducing stress on the knee joint and helps the individual maintain a more active lifestyle.


Total knee replacement involves replacing the damaged parts of the knee joint with a metal and plastic prosthesis. The prosthesis is implanted into the femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone), and patella (kneecap). This prosthesis aims to mimic the function of the natural knee joint and is used to reduce pain, restore mobility, and improve quality of life for the patient.
