Total Knee Replacement

• Procedure: An incision is made over the knee, and the damaged joint surfaces are removed. The femur and tibia are then shaped to fit artificial components, which are secured in place.
• Indications: Severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or knee injury leading to chronic pain and loss of function.
• Recovery: Includes physical therapy to regain strength and mobility; most patients can return to daily activities within a few months.
