Replacement of damaged joint surfaces to relieve arthritis-related pain and improve mobility.
Total knee replacement is commonly performed for advanced arthritis and other conditions causing severe pain, stiffness, deformity, and loss of function.

Modern knee replacement implants can provide durable function for many years. Implant longevity varies according to patient factors, implant design, surgical factors, activity, and other individual considerations.
Mobilisation with physiotherapy and appropriate walking support.
Progressive knee movement, strengthening, wound care, and increasing walking distance.
Gradual reduction in walking aids as strength and balance improve.
Continued improvement in strength, function, and confidence with daily activities.
