Procedure Information |
What happens during knee replacement surgery? A knee replacement is a procedure to remove your damaged knee joint and replace it with an artificial one (a prosthesis or implant) – this is made out of metal, plastic or ceramic. Following surgery your knee should be much less painful and the joint should move more smoothly. New advances in technology offer a greater range of implant types and sizes. Your Nuffield Health surgeon will choose the implant that best fits your body size and lifestyle. In some cases a CT scan or MRI scan of your knee may be used to create special guides that will help your surgeon accurately fit your prosthesis. A knee replacement is normally performed under general anaesthetic During the operation your whole existing knee joint is replaced with a new prosthetic knee joint This takes between one and two hours Your surgeon will make an incision (cut) at the front of your knee where the replacement will be inserted Usually, you will stay in hospital for 2-4 days, but you may have to stay longer if necessary. |

I was an inpatient for surgery and the overall temperature in the ward was incredibly hot due to good weather outside, all in patient rooms and areas need individual air conditioning units to control the temperature as even a bar of chocolate in my bedside melted, it was particularly hot for all the nursing staff working too. Fly screens at the bedroom windows would stop all the insects from entering the rooms attracted by any night lights. The mobile CT and MRI scanner lorries parked outside were continuously noisy throughout the night making whirring noises which echoed around the car park. All staff I met were attentive, caring and extremely helpful making my stay a really positive experience. |

I have just had a partial thyroid removal. the whole experience from initial consultation to the actual surgery involved a number of staff. from the lady who emptied the bin to the surgeon who carried out rhe procedure was exceptional. nothing was too much trouble. it would be difficult to pick out one member because they were all exceptional. I would have no hesitation of returning to Nuffield should the need arise. |
