Understanding Total Knee Replacement
Total knee replacement (TKR) is a surgical procedure designed to replace a damaged or diseased knee joint with an artificial joint, often made of metal, plastic, or ceramic components. This procedure is typically recommended for individuals suffering from severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or traumatic knee injuries that have not responded to other treatments. The goal of TKR is to relieve pain, improve function, and enhance the quality of life.
Symptoms Indicating the Need for Total Knee Replacement
- Persistent Knee Pain: Chronic pain that does not improve with conservative treatments and interferes with daily activities.
- Limited Range of Motion: Difficulty in bending or straightening the knee fully.
- Swelling and Stiffness: Persistent swelling and stiffness in the knee joint.
- Difficulty Walking: Problems with walking, climbing stairs, or performing other weight-bearing activities.
- Joint Deformity: Noticeable deformity of the knee, such as bowing or collapsing inward.
