What is Total Knee Replacement (TKR)?

When Do You Need Total Knee Replacement?

You may be a candidate for total knee replacement in Malaysia if you:

  • Have severe knee pain or stiffness affecting walking, climbing stairs, or daily activities
  • Experience pain at rest, including at night
  • Have tried medications, physiotherapy, or injections without relief
  • Show X-ray evidence of advanced arthritis or joint damage

How is Total Knee Replacement Performed?

During knee replacement surgery, the damaged surfaces of the knee are removed and replaced with metal and plastic implants that mimic natural joint movement.

 

Steps include:

  1. Removal of damaged cartilage and bone.

  2. Implantation of prosthetic components (femoral, tibial, and sometimes patellar).

  3. Alignment check to ensure smooth knee function.

 

Modern techniques in Malaysia include:

  • Minimally invasive knee replacement (smaller incision, faster recovery)
  • Computer-assisted navigation for precise implant placement
