Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is also known as Total knee replacement (TKA) surgery. It is a common orthopedic procedure that involves replacing the damaged, worn-out articular surfaces of the knee joint. These are replaced with artificial parts known as implants or prostheses. It is recommended when the damaged knee joint causes pain and immobility limiting your daily activities.
The knee consists of three components namely: the thigh bone (femur), the shinbone (tibia), and the kneecap (patella). Any damage or injury to these components causes immense pain and reduced mobility of the knee joint. TKA aims to improve the quality of life, by reducing pain and increasing the function of the knee joint.
