Pain Relief Through Knee Replacement
Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is an advanced surgical procedure in which a damaged or worn-out knee joint is replaced with an artificial implant. The goal of the surgery is to relieve chronic knee pain, restore movement, improve walking ability, and enhance overall quality of life. Doctors may recommend TKR when knee pain becomes severe and daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, standing, or performing routine tasks become difficult due to damaged knee cartilage caused by conditions like Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, or Joint Deformities.
