About total knee replacement
Total knee replacement (TKR) removes the damaged surfaces of the knee joint and replaces them with metal and medical-grade plastic components. It is one of the most successful operations in modern surgery, with most patients walking with support the day after surgery.
Leading hospitals offer computer-navigated and robotic-assisted knee replacement, which improves implant alignment. Your quote will usually include the implant, surgeon fees, the hospital stay and initial physiotherapy.
Who is it for?
Adults with severe osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis whose pain does not improve with medicines, injections or physiotherapy.
Recovery
Walking with a walker in 1–2 days, independent walking in 3–6 weeks, full recovery in about 3 months.
