Nature of total knee replacement
Total knee replacement is a reconstructive surgical procedure where the entire knee joint is resurfaced using metal and polyethene implants. It’s designed to correct joint misalignment, eliminate pain from bone-on-bone contact, and restore natural movement. The artificial components function like a healthy joint, and with proper recovery, patients often return to daily activities with improved confidence and comfort.
Common causes of knee damage
Knee joint damage is typically caused by overuse or sudden strain, including:
Osteoarthritis: Progressive cartilage degeneration that leads to pain, stiffness, and reduced function.
Rheumatoid arthritis: Autoimmune damage to the joint lining that accelerates cartilage breakdown.
Post-traumatic arthritis: Injuries such as fractures or ligament tears that impair joint surfaces.
Knee deformities: Chronic misalignment that leads to uneven joint wear.
Previous surgeries or failed treatments: When past procedures no longer relieve symptoms or restore function.
Diagnosing suitability for total knee treatment
A full assessment is performed using your medical history, physical examination, and imaging (X-rays or MRI). You may be a candidate if you have persistent pain, stiffness, or mobility issues despite non-surgical treatments. Your surgeon will evaluate your joint structure, stability, and overall health to determine if knee replacement is appropriate. This ensures the best possible outcome and a safe recovery path.

Treatment overview
Total knee replacement is a comprehensive surgical procedure designed to replace the damaged or worn-out surfaces of the knee joint with metal and polyethylene implants. It is typically recommended for individuals with severe arthritis, joint deformities, or persistent knee pain that no longer responds to non-surgical treatments. The goal is to restore proper joint alignment, eliminate pain caused by bone-on-bone contact, and improve overall knee function.
This procedure has a high success rate and is often life-changing for patients who struggle with mobility limitations and reduced quality of life. With proper post-operative care and rehabilitation, most patients experience significant improvements in movement, stability, and confidence—allowing them to return to daily activities with less discomfort and greater independence.
