Knee replacement

Stairs, a trip into town or playing with your grandchildren. When knee pain dictates what you can do, an assessment helps you compare options and choose a meaningful next step.

When arthritis limits everyday life.

Advanced knee wear can cause pain, stiffness and deformity. A replacement may be considered when appropriate rehabilitation, medication and other options no longer offer enough relief.

Your findings meet your goals.

Examination, X-rays, knee stability and overall health guide the plan. Replacement resurfaces damaged joint surfaces. The aim is less pain and better everyday function.

Every stage of recovery matters.

Mobility and strength exercises, walking and wound review form part of the plan. Progress develops over months. Work, driving and sport resume according to function; lower-impact activities are usually more suitable.

Realistic expectations guide the decision.

Possible complications include infection, blood clots, stiffness, persistent pain and later implant loosening. Before deciding, we discuss likely benefits, personal risks and rehabilitation commitments.

You can arrange a consultation and assessment at Amabilia. If surgery is recommended, the appropriate operating institution, preparation, costs and follow-up plan are agreed separately with you.

Is walking enough for recovery?

Walking matters, but it does not replace the mobility and strengthening exercises prescribed by your team.
