Total Knee Replacement Arthroplasty (TKA)

Total Knee Replacement Arthroplasty (TKA)

Highly favorable and successful for those with late-stage degenerative knee osteoarthritis, total knee replacement or arthroplasty (TKA) can help restore mobility and function and relieve pain in the knee and surrounding areas. Degenerative osteoarthritis (OA) occurs mainly in middle-aged and older adults when there is a slow loss of cartilage, and OA is a problem suffered by millions of Americans. If you suffer from OA, you may not be able to bend the knee easily without pain due to the knee becoming unstable. TKA helps to resurface the knee joint in the areas where it’s been affected by OA and alleviates knee pain using a prosthesis attached to the bone. Knee replacements can have a life of up to 20 years.
