Abstract:

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or total knee replacement (TKR) is a common orthopaedic surgery that involves replacing the articular surfaces (femoral condyles and tibial plateau) of the knee joint with smooth metal and highly cross-linked polyethylene plastic. TKA aims to improve the quality of life of individuals with end-stage osteoarthritis by reducing pain and increasing function. The number of TKA surgeries has increased in developed countries with younger patients receiving TKA.
