Total Knee Replacement
When do you need TKR surgery?
If your knee is severely damaged by arthritis or injury, it may be hard for you to perform simple activities, such as walking or climbing stairs.
You may even begin to feel pain while you are sitting or lying down.
If nonsurgical treatments like medications and using walking supports are no longer helpful, you may consider total knee replacement surgery.
Is knee replacement safe?
Joint replacement surgery is a safe and effective procedure to relieve pain, correct leg deformity, and help you resume normal activities.
Improvements in surgical materials and techniques have greatly increased its effectiveness. Total knee replacements are one of the most successful procedures with succes rate of approx 95 percent.
