Surgery is discussed when pain and stiffness still limit daily life after other treatment.
When physiotherapy, weight management, bracing, medicines, and injections no longer give enough relief, knee replacement can be considered. The decision follows an examination and a review of the X-rays. Age alone does not decide it.
An operation for a worn knee, most often a partial or total knee replacement, after non-surgical care has been tried.
The worn surfaces of the knee are replaced so the joint can bend and take weight with less arthritis pain.
People whose pain still limits walking, sleep, or daily activity after other treatment.
Replacing the worn surfaces can reduce arthritis pain.
The aim is to walk and bend with less pain than before surgery.
Surgery is discussed after non-surgical care, unless the knee is already severely damaged.
The operation, the hospital stay, and recovery are explained before a date is set.
Walking starts early, and physiotherapy continues after you go home.
Replacement is considered when pain still limits walking, sleep, or daily activity.

Surgery is considered when pain and stiffness stop you walking, sleeping, or doing daily tasks, and when non-surgical care has not helped enough. The decision follows an examination and X-rays.
Partial knee replacement is used when only one part of the knee is worn. Total knee replacement is used when the whole joint is worn. A keyhole washout is not a treatment for established arthritis.
No. Exercise, weight management, medicines, bracing, and injections are tried first, unless the knee is already severely damaged.
The choice depends on your age, activity, which part of the knee is worn, how stable the ligaments are, and the X-rays. That decision is made in the clinic.
