Canine veterinary knee prosthesis TKR

for total knee arthroplasty

TKR is a surgical procedure in which damaged joint surfaces are replaced with a prosthesis designed to restore pain-free knee function. The replacement joint consists of a metal component attached to the end of the femur and a polyethylene component attached to the tibia. The components create new bearing surfaces that mimic normal movement of the joint. It is the only treatment that fully restores life-long mobility to patients with acute osteoarthritis of the knee.
