UnderstandingTotal Knee Replacement Surgery (TKR)
At its core, TKR is a surgical procedure in which damagedparts of the knee joint are removed and replaced with artificial components. This is typically recommended for patients who have not found relief through conservative treatments such as medication, physical therapy, or cortisone injections. The goal of TKR is to alleviate pain, restore functionality, and improve the overall quality of life for patients suffering from chronic knee issues.
