Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is a transformative surgical procedure designed to relieve pain and restore function in severely diseased knee joints. At OrthoCARE in Istanbul, we specialize in providing advanced TKR solutions, combining state-of-the-art technology with expert care.
WHAT IS TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT?
Total Knee Replacement, also known as knee arthroplasty, involves replacing the damaged or worn surfaces of the knee with artificial components. This surgery is often recommended for patients suffering from severe arthritis or significant knee injuries.
WHEN IS TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT RECOMMENDED?
TKR is typically advised for individuals experiencing:
Severe knee pain or stiffness that limits everyday activities, including walking, climbing stairs, and sitting or standing.
Moderate to severe knee pain while resting, either day or night.
Chronic knee inflammation and swelling that does not improve with rest or medications.
Knee deformity - a bowing in or out of your knee.
