Total Knee Replacement (TKR), also known as knee arthroplasty, is a highly effective surgical procedure used to relieve pain and restore function in severely damaged knee joints. Whether due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis, chronic knee pain can limit your mobility and quality of life. At the clinic of Dr. Yogish Vijaya Kumar, a highly experienced orthopaedic surgeon, patients receive expert evaluation and state-of-the-art surgical care for long-lasting relief from knee pain.

When Is Total Knee Replacement Needed?

Total knee replacement is usually recommended when:

  • Knee pain persists despite medications or physiotherapy

  • Daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, or even resting become painful

  • The knee is stiff, swollen, or visibly deformed

  • There is significant joint damage on X-rays or MRI

  • Non-surgical treatments no longer provide relief

What Does the Procedure Involve?

In a total knee replacement, Dr. Yogish removes the damaged cartilage and bone from the ends of the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin bone), and replaces them with smooth, durable artificial implants. The patella (kneecap) may also be resurfaced if necessary.

Dr. Yogish uses modern techniques and precision instruments, including minimally invasive approaches when appropriate, to ensure accurate alignment, reduced tissue damage, and faster recovery.

Benefits of Knee Replacement

  • Significant pain relief

  • Improved mobility and quality of life

  • Early mobilization with physiotherapy support

  • Walking with support within a day or two
