What is Total Knee Replacement (TKR)?
Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is a procedure where the entire knee joint is replaced with an artificial implant to restore function and eliminate pain. It is recommended for:
✔ Severe osteoarthritis affecting the entire knee joint
✔ Advanced rheumatoid arthritis causing joint damage
✔ Severe knee deformities
✔ Persistent knee pain & stiffness that limits daily activities
Benefits of Total Knee Replacement:
✅ Long-lasting pain relief (implants last 20+ years)
✅ Restores full knee function
✅ Ideal for severe arthritis or deformities
What is Partial Knee Replacement (PKR)?
Partial Knee Replacement (PKR) involves replacing only the damaged portion of the knee while preserving healthy bone and tissue. It is suitable for patients with:
✔ Osteoarthritis limited to one compartment of the knee
✔ Good knee stability with strong ligaments
✔ Minimal knee deformity
Benefits of Partial Knee Replacement:
✅ Smaller incision & less invasive
✅ Faster recovery (within weeks instead of months)
✅ More natural knee movement
