About the service

Your orthopaedic surgeon may have suggested joint replacement surgery for your hip or knee as an option if other more conservative treatments, such as medication and physiotherapy, have failed. You may still be experiencing pain and have limited mobility, especially if you have arthritis of the joint, an injury or other debilitating condition.

Joint replacement surgery, followed by an exercise recovery program, can restore quality of life, allowing people to enjoy walking, cycling, swimming and golf as well as their normal daily activities.
