Total Knee Replacement (TKR)

Safe, Effective & Life-Restoring

A personalised surgical solution to relieve chronic knee pain and restore mobility, offering both conventional and robotic-arm assisted options tailored to your needs.

What is

Total Knee Replacement is a surgical procedure in which the damaged parts of your knee joint are replaced with a prosthetic implant made of metal and medical-grade plastic. The goal is to reduce pain, improve knee function and help you return to daily activities with better comfort, mobility and confidence.

TKR helps

Whether caused by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or post-traumatic injury, knee pain can limit your movement and affect your quality of life. When conservative treatments such as medication, injections and physiotherapy no longer provide relief, your orthopaedic surgeon may recommend Total Knee Replacement (TKR).
Is knee pain affecting your mobility or stopping you from enjoying daily activities?

At Beacon Hospital, we offer both conventional and robotic-arm assisted Total Knee Replacement procedures, performed by experienced orthopaedic surgeons trained in joint replacement surgery. Both approaches are safe and effective. Your surgeon will help you choose the most suitable option based on your condition and priorities.

How Mako Technology Supports the Surgeon:

        Timelines    Activities
Plan - Personalised Surgical Planning

1. Plan - Personalised Surgical Planning

Your journey begins with a personalised surgical plan. A CT scan is taken to create a 3D virtual model of your knee, allowing your surgeon to accurately assess:

  • ▸ Bone structure
  • ▸ Severity of joint damage
  • ▸ Alignment and spacing
  • ▸ Surrounding bone and soft tissue

Using this detailed model, your surgeon determines the ideal implant size, placement, and alignment to suit your anatomy, ensuring better accuracy and long-term function.

Assess - Real-Time Accuracy

2. Assess - Real-Time Accuracy

During the procedure, the Mako system provides real-time data to your surgeon, allowing continuous assessment of how your knee moves including joint tension, balance and stability.

This means your surgeon can make real-time adjustments to ensure your new joint moves smoothly and naturally.

Balance - Bone Removal With Greater Precision

3. Balance - Bone Removal With Greater Precision

In the surgery, your surgeon guides the robotic arm to carefully remove only the damaged parts of your knee while making precise rotational adjustments in sub-millimetre increments. This targeted approach helps protect healthy bone and surrounding tissue, helping your knee function better and feel more comfortable after surgery.

Cut - Insert Implant

4. Cut - Insert Implant

Finally, your surgeon places the implant, guided by the robotic-arm according to the pre-planned 3D model, ensuring precision and alignment.This results in:

  • ✔ Less soft tissue damage
  • ✔ Greater bone preservation
  • ✔ A more controlled and accurate surgical experience
  • ✔ Reduced pain, lower complication risk, and quicker recovery

Total knee replacement may be suitable for you if:

  • You experience persistent knee pain affecting your mobility
  • You've been diagnosed with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis
  • Poor response to medications, injections or physiotherapy
  • You find it challenging to walk, climb stairs, or perform routine tasks due to knee discomfort
Our orthopaedic specialist will assess your condition and advise if robotic-arm assisted surgery is right for you.
