Abstract: Background: Total knee arthroplasty has revolutionized the care of patients with end stage arthritic conditions. Increasing life expectancy, growing demand and success of this surgery have lead to signicant increase in the number of total knee replacements. The present study was conducted to assess cases of total knee replacement in a tertiary care centre.
