Thonburi Trang
Chronic knee pain is one of the most common problems among older adults, especially those aged 60 and above. The pain often stems from osteoarthritis, which causes the knee joint to wear down over time, making it difficult to walk or move comfortably.
At Thonburi-Trang Hospital, our knee replacement surgery package is designed to help patients regain their mobility and confidence through expert surgical care, advanced technology, and personalized rehabilitation.
As we age, the cartilage that cushions the bones in the knee joint gradually wears away, leading to bone-on-bone contact. This causes inflammation, stiffness, and pain — all classic signs of knee osteoarthritis.
Overuse of the knee joints through daily activities like standing, walking, or climbing stairs
Being overweight, which puts extra pressure on the knees
Previous knee injuries or accidents
Genetic predisposition
Lack of exercise, which weakens the muscles supporting the joint
Persistent pain, even at rest or during the night
Swelling and stiffness that limit movement
Clicking or grinding sounds when moving the knee
Difficulty walking or climbing stairs without support
Non-surgical treatments no longer provide relief
If these symptoms interfere with your daily activities, it may be time to discuss knee replacement surgery with an orthopedic specialist.
Before recommending surgery, doctors typically explore less invasive treatment options such as:
Anti-inflammatory medications or joint supplements
Steroid or hyaluronic acid injections to reduce pain and improve lubrication
Physical therapy to strengthen muscles around the knee
Weight control and lifestyle adjustments
When these methods no longer improve a patient’s condition, knee replacement surgery may be the most effective solution for long-term relief.
Knee replacement surgery (also known as arthroplasty) involves removing the damaged portions of the knee joint and replacing them with artificial components made of metal and medical-grade plastic. These implants mimic the natural movement of a healthy knee joint, helping patients regain mobility and relieve pain.
Partial Knee Replacement (PKR) – replaces only the damaged portion of the knee. Suitable for patients with localized arthritis.
Total Knee Replacement (TKR) – replaces the entire joint surface. Recommended for patients with widespread or severe osteoarthritis.
Your orthopedic surgeon will determine the most appropriate option based on X-rays, physical condition, and lifestyle needs.
