Top Treatment Options

Total Knee Replacement (TKR)

Total Knee Replacement is a surgical procedure where a damaged or worn-out knee joint is replaced with a metal and plastic prosthesis to restore function and relieve chronic pain, mostly caused by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or trauma.

Advantages
  • 1. Pain Relief – Significant reduction or complete elimination of chronic knee pain.
  • 2. Improved Mobility – Better range of motion and ease of walking, climbing stairs, etc.
  • 3. Long-Term Results – Implants can last 15–20 years with proper care.
Limitations
  • 1. Recovery Time – Full rehabilitation can take 2–3 months or longer.
  • 2. Limited High-Impact Activity – Avoid running or jumping to prevent implant damage.
  • 3. Surgical Risks – Infection, blood clots, or implant loosening over time.

Total Hip Replacement (THR)

Total Hip Replacement is a surgical procedure where a damaged hip joint (due to arthritis, fracture, or degeneration) is replaced with an artificial prosthesis made of metal, ceramic, or plastic to restore movement and relieve pain.

Advantages
