Knee replacement surgery reduces pain, restores mobility and gives you an improved range of movement.
We aim to carry out your surgery as soon as possible after you have been consented. This is normally around 4 weeks after your initial consultation. We’re really proud to have one of the shortest waiting times for knee replacement surgery in the country.
It’s best to stay active, this has been proven to give you a better recovery time. Some people will require pain relief to allow them to stay active. Removing hazards from your home (loose rugs and cables) to prevent falling, placing items within reach, and clearing space for walking with crutches, are all good ideas for preparation.
This depends on the type of knee operation. Most knee surgeries take between 1-3 hours.
Whilst you are in recovery, you will be given pain relief to make you comfortable. You will then be taken to the ward and you will be seen by the Physiotherapy team, who will get you walking around.
Exercises are extremely important to aid recovery. You should exercise daily in order to increase your range of movement and reduce the swelling of the knee. Walking is very important, as is strengthening your muscles and stretching the knee.
You should be able to resume outdoor activities within 12 weeks after your surgery. However, we recommend that you refrain from jogging and contact sports, instead we advise cycling or swimming.
Most people are able to drive six weeks after surgery. You should always check with your surgeon first.
For the majority of patients, their new knee will last between 10 and 20 years.
You will be given a telephone number to ring if you have any concerns whatsoever.
