Explanation

Answer: D - Neuropathic arthropathy might be considered a very risky condition for a total knee replacement (TKR) procedure.

Neuropathic arthropathy is also called charcot joint. It is a progressive degeneration of the weight-bearing joint. The complications following a TKR in a charcot joint are high. It is not an absolute contraindication, but still it is considered to be very risky to perform the TKR.
