  1. Total Knee Replacement Surgery: A Complete Guide Knee pain can be life-limiting. Conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or joint injuries can severely affect mobility and quality of life. When medicines, physiotherapy, and other treatments no longer help, Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgery becomes a reliable option. What is Total Knee Replacement? Total Knee Replacement is a surgical procedure where the damaged or worn-out surfaces of the knee joint are replaced with artificial implants made of metal and plastic. The goal is to relieve pain, improve function, and restore mobility. Who Needs Knee Replacement Surgery? You may be a candidate for TKR if you experience: Severe knee pain and stiffness affecting daily activities (walking, climbing stairs) Persistent swelling and inflammation Deformity (bowed or knock-knees) Limited relief from medications or injections Difficulty standing or walking for long

  2. Common Causes Leading to Knee Replacement Osteoarthritis (age-related wear & tear of joints) Rheumatoid Arthritis (autoimmune joint damage) Post-traumatic Arthritis (after injuries) Joint deformities or congenital issues Benefits of Total Knee Replacement Surgery Significant pain relief Improved joint function & mobility Better quality of life Correction of deformity Ability to return to daily activities Long-lasting results (implants can last 15-20 years or more) Types of Knee Replacement Surgeries Total Knee Replacement (TKR) Partial (Unicompartmental) Knee Replacement Revision Knee Replacement (if the first implant fails) Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement (for better precision)

  3. Surgical Procedure Overview Pre-surgery Evaluation: Blood tests, X-rays, fitness assessment Surgery Duration: 1.5 to 2 hours Damaged cartilage & bone are removed Artificial joint components (metal/plastic implants) are fixed Wound is closed, and recovery begins Recovery & Rehabilitation Hospital Stay: 3-5 days Weight-bearing & walking: Starts within 1-2 days Physiotherapy: Key to regain strength & flexibility Full recovery typically takes 6-12 weeks Post-Surgery Tips for Best Results Follow physiotherapy exercises regularly Maintain a healthy weight Avoid high-impact activities (running, jumping) Use supportive footwear Attend follow-up visits as advised Possible Risks & Complications Like any surgery, TKR has risks such as: Infection Blood clots Implant loosening Knee stiffness
