Total Knee Replacement

Experience renewed mobility and freedom from pain with Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgery at Ko Specialist Medical Centre. As we age, knee pain becomes a common issue, severely impacting our quality of life. TKR offers a solution for those suffering from conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or injury-induced arthritis, restoring the ability to enjoy daily activities without discomfort.

Common causes of knee pain include:

  • Osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease that causes the breakdown of joint cartilage & adjacent bone in the knees. As a result, the bones will rub against each other and become rough. After some time, it will get so stiff even walking is near impossible.
  • Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease-causing chronic inflammation within the joint. This damages the joint and results in pain as well as stiffness over time.
  • Injury to the ligament surrounding the joint can cause instability to the knee and this can bring about premature degeneration of the joint causing post—traumatic arthritis.
