At Spire South Bank, we have wide experience of performing knee replacement surgery in our high-quality facilities. We have two laminar flow operating theatres which regulate air flow to minimise the risk of infection.

Our consultants at Spire South Bank use trusted and clinically proven techniques for knee replacement. Your consultant will explain the procedure in more detail during your consultations.

Getting here

Spire South Bank is easy to get to from the city of Worcester and from junction 7 of the M5, which is just two miles away. Worcester Shrub Hill and Worcester Foregate Street train stations are also just two miles away. Free on-site parking is available for you and your visitors.

Your consultations

Your initial appointment will take place in one of our 12 consultation rooms, so don’t worry if you have difficulty walking. During your consultations, we'll:

• Ask about your medical history
• Say whether you need an X-ray, and/or an MRI or CT scan so your consultant can examine your knee in more detail
• Tell you about the different types of artificial knee joints – also called a prosthesis – as well as surgical methods
• Explain about the different anaesthetic options, and help you choose the best one for you
• Give you a chance to ask any questions you have about your surgery

Once you and your consultant have decided to go ahead with knee surgery, your physiotherapist will explain your recovery plan.

On the day of your operation, our ward staff will show you to your own private room.

If you’ve come with a friend or family member, they’re welcome to wait in our Coffee Lounge while you have your operation.

Anaesthetic options

When it’s time for your knee replacement, you’ll meet your surgery team and anaesthetist, who’ll administer the type of anaesthetic you’ve agreed on with your consultant. It’ll be a general anaesthetic or an epidural (spinal anaesthetic) where you’ll be numb from the waist down.

You can visit our main knee replacement page for more information about the procedure.

During your operation

During the operation, your surgeon will make one or more incisions and remove damaged or worn parts of your knee joint. They’ll then insert your new prosthetic joint. The operation should take around two hours. You’ll probably stay with us for two to three days after your operation, until we feel you’re ready to go home and continue your recovery there.

After surgery, you can start recovery in one of our 15 private rooms. Our rooms have the comforts you’d expect in your own home, including:

• Armchair
• En-suite
• TV with Freeview
• WiFi
• Window

Our team will provide pain relief and ensure you have what you need while you’re recovering in hospital. Although everybody’s different and you should always follow your consultant’s advice, here’s a typical recovery timeline for knee replacement surgery:
