Procedure Information |
What happens during knee replacement surgery? A knee replacement is a procedure to remove your damaged knee joint and replace it with an artificial one (a prosthesis or implant) – this is made out of metal, plastic or ceramic. Following surgery your knee should be much less painful and the joint should move more smoothly. New advances in technology offer a greater range of implant types and sizes. Your Nuffield Health surgeon will choose the implant that best fits your body size and lifestyle. In some cases a CT scan or MRI scan of your knee may be used to create special guides that will help your surgeon accurately fit your prosthesis. A knee replacement is normally performed under general anaesthetic During the operation your whole existing knee joint is replaced with a new prosthetic knee joint This takes between one and two hours Your surgeon will make an incision (cut) at the front of your knee where the replacement will be inserted Usually, you will stay in hospital for 2-4 days, but you may have to stay longer if necessary. |

I had a total right hip replacement carried out on November 22nd 2021 at The Chesterfield. The overall experience was excellent ... a great surgical team [Richard Baker & Stephen Tolchard]; great theatre and X Ray Department teams and excellent post op. support from a very caring and professional nursing / physio teams. Although I was in and out within 3 days, it was a thoroughly reassuring experience. Thank You Very Much! Ian Holmes |
