Total Knee Replacement

About Total Knee Replacement

Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is a highly effective surgical procedure designed to relieve chronic knee pain, restore mobility, and improve overall function when the joint has been significantly damaged by arthritis or injury. During this procedure, the worn-out cartilage and damaged joint surfaces are replaced with durable, biocompatible implants that replicate the natural movement of the knee. This treatment is often recommended for patients experiencing persistent pain that interferes with walking, climbing stairs, daily routines, recreation, or sleep — especially when other treatments like therapy, medications, and injections have not provided lasting relief. At Elite Sports Medicine, Our approach emphasizes precise alignment, personalized implant selection, and structured rehabilitation, ensuring patients restore stability, regain confidence in movement, and return to an active lifestyle with long-term comfort.
