What is a Total Knee Replacement?

A total knee replacement (TKR), or knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure that involves replacing the damaged or worn-out knee joint with an artificial one. The knee joint consists of the femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone), and the patella (kneecap). During TKR, the damaged cartilage and bone are removed and replaced with smooth, durable components made of metal and plastic. This procedure is typically recommended for patients with severe knee arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or traumatic injury.
