Read moreWhat is Knee Replacement?
When knee cartilage wears away, pain becomes constant and limits walking and stairs. The prosthesis caps the ends of the femur and tibia with artificial parts that recreate a smooth joint.
Procedure Process
The surgeon removes the damaged surfaces, corrects the leg alignment if needed, then fixes the prosthesis components. Rehabilitation starts the next day.
When is Knee Replacement used?
It is indicated for severe osteoarthritis or knee deformity causing significant pain and limitation despite treatment (medication, injections, physiotherapy). Please send your recent X-rays and medical history.

Frequently asked questions
How does the treatment work?
Anesthesia
Spinal or general anesthesia, often combined with a nerve block to limit pain.
Duration
About 1.5 to 2 hours.
What happens after treatment?
Hospital stay of 3 to 5 nights. Physiotherapy starts the next day and must continue for several weeks to regain knee bending. Blood thinners are prescribed. Flying home is usually possible after about 14 days, with the surgeon's approval.
How long do results last?
Pain decreases markedly within a few weeks. Recovery takes about 3 months, and the result keeps improving for up to a year. A modern prosthesis generally lasts 15 to 20 years or more.
