Preoperative Assessment: A thorough evaluation of the patient's overall health, knee joint condition, and any associated medical conditions is conducted. This assessment helps determine the suitability of Total Knee Arthroplasty and ensures optimal outcomes. Surgical Procedure: The surgery is performed under anesthesia, either general or regional. The surgeon removes the damaged cartilage and bone, prepares the joint surfaces, and implants the prosthetic components. The components may be cemented or press-fit into place. Postoperative Recovery: Following the surgery, a structured rehabilitation program is initiated.

This program involves Total Knee Arthroplasty exercises, pain management, and gradually increasing weight-bearing activities to regain strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the knee joint. Long-term Follow-up: Regular postoperative follow-up appointments are essential to monitor the progress, address any concerns, and ensure the longevity of the implant. Periodic X-rays may be performed to assess the integrity and positioning of the prosthetic components. While total knee arthroplasty is generally a safe and successful procedure.
