What is Knee Replacement?

Knee replacement, also known as Total Knee Replacement (TKR), involves replacing the damaged surfaces of the knee joint with artificial components (implants) made of medical‑grade metal and plastic. These implants restore smooth movement, reduce pain, and bring back natural joint function.

The surgery is recommended for:

  • Severe osteoarthritis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Post‑traumatic arthritis
  • Knee deformity or instability
  • Chronic knee pain affecting daily activities
  • Joint stiffness and limited mobility

Types of Knee Replacement Surgeries

Tailored solutions to match your diagnosis and lifestyle.

Total Knee Replacement (TKR)

Both sides of the knee joint are replaced with advanced implants designed to mimic natural knee motion.

Partial Knee Replacement (PKR)

Only the damaged part of the knee is replaced, enabling quicker recovery and better preservation of natural structures.

Complex / Revision TKR

For patients with previous surgeries or implant failures. Dr. Bhasme excels at complex revision procedures.
