Most patients that choose knee replacement surgery suffer from osteoarthritis or other knee conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. Adults of any age can be suitable for knee replacement surgery, though most patients are between the ages of 55 and 80.
A knee replacement is a significant operation. Ahead of it, it helps if you can stay active and do gentle exercise, particularly strengthening your quadricep muscles. This will help you cope with the operation and build strength afterwards.
The length of time it takes to recover after knee replacement surgery depends on various factors, including your age, fitness level prior to your surgery and pre-operative range of knee motion. Most patients only need to spend around three days in hospital.
Our dedicated recovery team of specialist orthopaedic nurses and physiotherapists will work with you closely to make sure you build strength and mobility as quickly as possible.
