How Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is performed
Total knee arthroplasty is performed under general or spinal anesthesia. Cemented or uncemented fixation and prosthesis type are optional, determined based on assessment. Typically, damaged cartilage and a small amount of bone are removed, deformities are corrected, trial molds are used to confirm the gap, and then the implant is inserted and sutured. Postoperative monitoring includes pain, bleeding, and thrombosis. Activity is initiated as early as possible under rehabilitation guidance to improve function. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
