Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is an advanced orthopedic surgical procedure performed to relieve severe knee pain and restore joint function in patients with advanced knee joint damage. The surgery involves replacing the worn-out or damaged surfaces of the knee joint with high-quality artificial implants, allowing smooth, pain-free movement.
With extensive experience in joint replacement surgery, Dr. Dnyaneshwar, a senior Orthopaedic and Joint Replacement Surgeon in Bangalore, provides personalized total knee replacement solutions using modern surgical techniques and proven implant systems to help patients regain mobility and independence.
Total Knee Replacement may be recommended for patients with:
Advanced osteoarthritis of the knee
Rheumatoid arthritis or inflammatory arthritis
Severe knee pain and stiffness
Knee deformities such as bow legs or knock knees
Post-traumatic arthritis following knee injuries
Failed previous knee surgeries
Significant limitation in daily activities due to knee pain
TKR is considered when conservative treatments no longer provide relief.
Common symptoms include:
Persistent knee pain while walking or standing
Pain that continues even at rest or during sleep
Difficulty climbing stairs or getting up from a chair
Reduced knee movement and stiffness
Swelling and deformity of the knee
Dependence on pain medications or walking aids
These symptoms can significantly affect quality of life if left untreated.
Knee joint damage may occur due to:
Age-related cartilage wear and tear
Chronic inflammatory joint conditions
Obesity increasing stress on knee joints
Previous knee injuries or fractures
Genetic predisposition
Repetitive strain on the knee joint
Identifying the cause helps in deciding the most appropriate treatment plan.
