What To Expect Before Your Knee Replacement at Cleveland Clinic London
Maybe you’ve been considering a knee replacement for a few years. Or your knee pain may have escalated and is preventing you from fully enjoying life. We’ll guide you through every test leading up to your joint replacement, the surgery itself and your recovery.
When you come to Cleveland Clinic London:
- Our consultants will ask how your symptoms are affecting your day-to-day activities — we’ll also assess your mobility and determine how strong your knee currently is.
- We may need to take X-rays or a detailed 3T MRI to get a better idea of the condition of your knee from the inside.
- We’ll also do any presurgical testing needed, including blood tests or an electrocardiogram (EKG).
Consultants Who Perform Knee Replacement Surgery
Locations
Our consultants see patients in modern and technologically advanced facilities in the heart of London.Knee Replacement Treatment at Cleveland Clinic London
Once you’ve completed your tests, your orthopaedic surgeon will discuss which surgery is best for you. We may be able to perform your surgery using smaller incisions and robotic technology. Cleveland Clinic London is one of only a few private providers in the U.K. offering the latest robotic options for joint replacement surgeries, including the ROSA® robot. This technology helps our surgeons operate with unparalleled accuracy.
Our joint replacement surgeries include:
- Total knee replacement. During knee arthroplasty or knee resurfacing, we remove damaged cartilage and bone from the knee joint. We replace them with metal implants and a plastic spacer that moves like a natural joint.
- Partial knee replacement. During this procedure (also known as unicompartmental replacement), we resurface only part of the knee joint with metal and plastic components. This is a less invasive alternative to total knee replacement for people with damage in only one part of the knee.
After surgery, if we think you might need extra care, we may refer you to rehabilitation in a short-term nursing facility, but usually, you’ll recover at home. We’ll help you understand how to make your home safe, care for your incision (cut) and identify signs of infection, as well as best practices for managing pain. You may also need to consider getting help with cooking, shopping, bathing and household tasks for a time.
