What is TKR Surgery?

Total Knee Replacement (TKR), also known as Knee Arthroplasty , is a surgical procedure where the damaged knee joint is replaced with an artificial implant (prosthesis). It is one of the most effective treatments for severe knee arthritis, chronic pain, and mobility issues , helping patients regain their active lifestyle.
