Signs You May Need Surgery
When non-surgical treatments aren't enough
Knee replacement surgery is usually considered when your knee pain is so severe that it limits your everyday activities, and non-surgical treatments like physiotherapy or steroid injections no longer provide relief.
- Severe joint pain that keeps you awake at night
- Significant stiffness preventing you from bending your knee
- Noticeable swelling that doesn't improve with rest

Understanding the Procedure
What happens in the operating room
During a knee replacement (arthroplasty), your surgeon removes the damaged cartilage and bone from the surface of your knee joint and replaces them with a highly durable artificial joint, restoring mobility and eliminating the pain of bone-on-bone friction.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
Recovery timelines vary, but physical therapy begins almost immediately after surgery. Our dedicated physiotherapy team will work with you closely to ensure you regain strength and range of motion safely.
