A total knee replacement is a surgical procedure that aims to restore regular knee function by replacing an ailing knee with an artificial joint. In Singapore, this is sometimes referred to as total knee arthroplasty.
A healthy knee is necessary for performing everyday activities because its responsible for extension, flexion, and rotation movements. When your knee is damaged due to arthritis or other related injuries, simple daily activities such as walking or climbing the stairs may be affected. In some cases, you may experience pain even in sedentary positions.
When oral medication, physical therapy, weight loss, and the use of walking aids fail to alleviate pain, a total knee replacement may be considered. A total knee replacement will replace the damaged and worn surface of the knee joint which causes pain, thereby allowing for the resumption of regular daily activities and improved quality of life.
