Indeed, knee replacement and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) refer to the same medical treatment. In a total knee arthroplasty, a diseased or injured knee joint is replaced with an artificial joint, also referred to as a prosthesis. The knee joint's deteriorated bone and cartilage are removed by the surgeon during the treatment, and the prosthetic parts are placed in their place. For this surgical procedure, the words "total knee arthroplasty" and "knee replacement" are sometimes used interchangeably. Reducing pain, enhancing function, and improving overall quality of life are the objectives of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and knee replacement for patients with severe knee joint disorders, such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
