Private knee replacement in London
Knee pain can affect mobility, sleep and everyday activities. Osteoarthritis is one possible cause, leading to changes within the joint that may result in pain, stiffness and reduced movement.
Knee replacement may be considered when symptoms substantially affect daily life and other treatments have not provided sufficient relief. The decision depends on your symptoms, clinical assessment, general health and personal circumstances.
During a consultation, your orthopaedic consultant can review your medical history, previous treatments and any relevant imaging. They can explain the potential benefits and risks of knee replacement, discuss alternatives and help you understand what treatment might involve.

Private hip replacement in London
Hip pain can make walking, bending, getting dressed and sleeping comfortably more challenging. Osteoarthritis is a common reason for considering hip replacement, although other conditions can also cause hip symptoms.
Hip replacement involves replacing damaged parts of the joint with artificial components. It may be considered when pain and restricted movement have a significant impact on everyday life and other appropriate treatments have not helped sufficiently.
An orthopaedic consultant will assess your symptoms and health before discussing whether surgery is suitable. They can also explain non-surgical options, potential complications and the rehabilitation involved.

Choosing an orthopaedic consultant
Your consultant plays an important role in assessing your condition and discussing the options available to you.
An appointment is an opportunity to explain how your symptoms affect your life, ask questions and understand the potential risks, benefits and limitations of treatment. Your consultant may recommend further investigations before reaching a decision.

The appropriate treatment will depend on your individual needs. A consultation does not mean that surgery will necessarily be recommended.
What happens at your consultation?
Your consultation is the starting point for understanding your symptoms and possible treatment options.
The process may involve:
- Discussing your symptoms: Explain when your pain started, what makes it worse and how it affects your daily activities.
- Reviewing your medical history: Your consultant will consider your general health, previous treatments and any relevant investigations.
- Considering further assessment: An examination or additional imaging may be appropriate, depending on your circumstances.
- Discussing treatment options: Your consultant can explain whether surgery or another approach may be suitable, including the associated risks and recovery requirements.
If surgery is recommended and you decide to proceed, your clinical team will explain the next steps, including pre-operative assessment, preparation and rehabilitation.
Treatment timing depends on clinical suitability, assessment requirements and availability. No particular surgery date or outcome can be guaranteed.
Recovery after hip or knee replacement
Recovery is gradual, and progress differs from person to person. Your general health, the procedure performed and your rehabilitation all influence how you recover.
Physiotherapy and a planned return to activity can help you rebuild strength and mobility. Your clinical team will advise you on exercises, wound care, movement restrictions and when you may be ready to resume activities such as driving or returning to work.
Before making a decision about surgery, consider the support you may need at home and how recovery could affect your work and daily responsibilities. Your consultant can explain what to expect in your circumstances.
Treatment costs and finance
The financial arrangements are another important consideration when planning private treatment.
Before committing, ask for a clear explanation of what is included in your proposed care and whether any additional charges may apply. If you are considering finance, review the terms carefully and check that the repayments are affordable for you.
