Abstract:

Total knee replacement (TKR) is one of the most commonly performed orthopaedic procedures for end‑stage knee arthritis. Successful outcomes depend on appropriate patient selection, precise surgical technique, and accurate postoperative assessment. Imaging plays a critical role throughout the perioperative period, from preoperative planning and alignment assessment to postoperative evaluation and diagnosis of complications. This combined clinico‑radiological review integrates orthopaedic and radiological perspectives on implant design, alignment concepts, surgical techniques, and multimodality imaging following TKR.
