Post-operative Physiotherapy For Joint Replacement

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA), also known as total knee replacement, is a surgical procedure performed to replace a damaged knee joint with an artificial implant. The most common reason for TKA is severe osteoarthritis, but it may also be performed for other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic injury, or deformity. The surgical procedure typically involves the removal of damaged cartilage and bone, followed by the placement of a metal and plastic prosthesis.

The "Guide to Knee Arthroplasty" ebook provides an in-depth overview of the surgical process, including pre-operative preparation, and the various components of the knee prosthesis. Understanding the details of the surgical procedure will enable you to approach your physiotherapy journey with a comprehensive knowledge of the procedure and its purpose.
