TKR (Total Knee Replacement)
Replacing the worn joint surfaces of a damaged knee with a metal-and-plastic prosthesis.
Total knee replacement (TKR or total knee arthroplasty, TKA) resurfaces the ends of the femur and tibia with metal components and places a polyethylene spacer between them. Typical implant lifespan is 15-20 years. Implant brand matters — tier-1 (Zimmer, Stryker, DePuy, Smith & Nephew) has better 10-year outcome data than generic alternatives.
