Welcome to Transform Medical
Knee replacement surgery is designed to alleviate chronic knee pain caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis or injury. When non-surgical treatments like medications and physical therapy are no longer effective, this surgery may be recommended.
During the procedure, damaged portions of the knee joint are removed and replaced with artificial components. The goal is to enhance joint function, reduce pain, and restore mobility. While knee replacement surgery can offer significant benefits, outcomes may vary depending on individual factors.
The primary reason to consider knee replacement surgery is to relieve persistent knee pain that significantly interferes with daily activities and lowers overall quality of life, particularly when other treatments have failed to provide adequate relief.
There are various types of knee replacement surgery available, tailored to each patient’s needs. Your surgeon will recommend the most appropriate option based on the severity of your condition, overall health, and lifestyle. Each type is designed to alleviate pain, restore mobility, and help you return to your normal activities, improving your overall quality of life.

During knee replacement surgery, the procedure is typically performed under general or spinal anaesthesia to ensure comfort. The operation generally follows these steps:
You will be administered either general or spinal anaesthesia to ensure you remain pain-free throughout the procedure.
A small incision is made over the knee to access the joint.
The damaged bone and cartilage are carefully removed.
The surgeon replaces the removed bone and cartilage with a prosthetic joint made from materials such as metal, plastic, or ceramic.
The incision is closed using stitches or staples to secure the area for healing.

Expert Care in the Comfort of Your Own Home
We understand that preparing for and recovering from surgery can be stressful, especially when you have work, family, and other commitments. That’s why we created Transform Home Recovery+, offering personalised pre- and post-surgery care in the comfort of your own home.
We’ve designed this service to make your surgical journey as smooth and stress-free as possible, helping you focus on recovery without the hassle of travel or time off work.
What’s Included:
Recovery from knee replacement surgery begins immediately after the operation, with initial focus on pain management and early mobilisation.
Recovery times vary from person to person, but typically, you can expect to stay in the hospital for a few days post-surgery. Initial recovery involves supervised physical therapy to help regain movement and strength in the knee. Once discharged, you may need assistance with daily activities for a short period. Strenuous activities should be avoided for 6 to 12 weeks to promote healing.
A tailored physiotherapy programme will be provided to support your recovery and help you regain mobility. Following your surgeon’s advice and adhering to your rehabilitation plan are essential for the best outcome.
Before your surgery, you will undergo a thorough medical assessment to ensure you are fit for the procedure. This includes tests and consultations to help your surgical team plan the best approach for your individual condition.
Our team will explain the procedure in detail, discuss your options, and provide information on pricing and payment plans.
You will receive expert care during your hospital stay, followed by a tailored rehabilitation plan designed to help you recover as quickly and safely as possible.
After your surgery, our dedicated aftercare team will be available to offer guidance and support throughout your recovery. Regular follow-up appointments will help monitor your progress and address any concerns you may have, ensuring a smooth and safe return to your normal activities.
Knee replacement surgery is designed to relieve ongoing knee pain and improve movement when other treatments have not been effective. The damaged joint is replaced with a prosthetic implant, helping reduce pain and restore mobility so you can return to everyday life with greater comfort.
If knee pain is affecting your walking, sleep, or daily routine, and treatments such as physiotherapy or medication are no longer helping, it may be time to consider surgery. A consultation will confirm whether knee replacement is the right option for you.
The procedure typically takes around 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of your case and the type of knee replacement being performed.
Recovery begins immediately after surgery. Many patients start walking with support shortly after the procedure, with light activities returning over the following weeks. Most people return to normal routines within 6 to 12 weeks, supported by a tailored physiotherapy plan.
Knee replacement is a commonly performed procedure, but like any surgery, there are risks. These may include infection, blood clots, stiffness, or implant wear over time. Your surgeon will explain these in detail and take steps to minimise them.
Knee replacement is available from £10,995, including your procedure, hospital stay, and aftercare. A personalised quote and finance options will be discussed during your consultation.
