What Does Knee Replacement Involve?

Knee replacement surgery involves removing damaged joint surfaces and replacing them with durable implants that mimic natural movement. It’s one of the most effective ways to relieve chronic pain and improve mobility.

We offer:

  • Total knee replacement (complete joint replacement)
  • Partial knee replacement (for isolated damage)
  • Cartilage repair or resurfacing (for early-stage wear)

Your treatment plan is built around your individual needs, following a detailed assessment with imaging and consultant review.

 

How Much Does Knee Replacement Cost in Glasgow?

Private knee replacement costs in Glasgow can vary depending on provider, complexity, and aftercare. At Electiva, our all-inclusive packages start from £9,995, covering:

  • Consultant appointments and scans
  • Surgery and anaesthesia
  • Overnight hospital care
  • Follow-up care and physiotherapy guidance

No unexpected fees. Just clear, transparent pricing with premium care.

 

Is Knee Replacement Right for You?

You might be ready for surgery if:

  • Pain is affecting your sleep or ability to move
  • Your knee feels stiff, unstable or locks
  • You’ve tried other treatments like physiotherapy or injections with little success
  • Scans show joint degeneration or cartilage damage

We frequently support patients who have lived with symptoms for years. If that’s you, we’re here to explore your options together – including less invasive solutions like cartilage repair near Glasgow.

 

What to Expect After Surgery

Most patients begin recovery on the same day or the day after surgery. Your journey is closely monitored, with a recovery plan designed to help you safely return to everyday life.

Recovery timeline:

  • Day 0–2: Hospital stay with initial movement and pain relief
  • Week 1–6: At-home physiotherapy and mobility progress
  • Week 6–12: Return to everyday activities
  • 12+ weeks: Full recovery and long-term flexibility

You’ll also have access to our expert team for follow-ups and 24/7 clinical support.

Our private knee replacement starts from £9,995. The price includes surgery, hospital stay, anaesthesia, consultant care, and structured aftercare.

What does the cost include?

Your fee covers consultations, scans (like X-rays/MRI), your surgery, overnight hospital stay, medication, and post-op recovery support.

Why go private for knee surgery in Glasgow?

Private care means fast access, a named consultant, comfortable hospital stays, and a transparent, fixed price – with no long NHS wait times.

Is the operation painful?

You’ll be under general or spinal anaesthesia during surgery. Afterward, your comfort is managed with medication and regular monitoring.

Are there any risks involved?

As with all surgeries, there are risks of infection, blood clots, or implant complications – though rare. We’ll discuss these and how we manage them.

Where is the surgery performed?

All procedures are carried out at Electiva Hospitals Glasgow, a registered private hospital in the city centre with excellent transport links.
