Total Knee Replacement

Osteoarthritis is the gradual wear and tear of the knee joint, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. When medication and physiotherapy are no longer effective, Total Knee Replacement (TKR) becomes the most reliable solution to restore mobility and return to a normal, active life.

Mother Ortho Hospital has been at the forefront of advanced knee replacement surgeries, providing safe and effective care for thousands of patients. Our expert orthopedic team has performed numerous successful Total Knee Replacement procedures, combining precision surgery with compassionate patient care.

In our commitment to patient convenience and faster recovery, we have implemented FAST TRACK RECOVERY protocols for TKR patients. With this approach, many patients are able to walk on the same day of surgery, significantly reducing hospital stay and enhancing early rehabilitation.
