Your guide to private knee treatment

Our knee consultants are located across our four leading London hospitals: London Bridge Hospital, The Wellington Hospital in north London, The Princess Grace Hospital in central London, and The Lister Hospital in Chelsea. Our children’s orthopaedic consultants are based at The Portland Hospital for Women and Children, just south of Regent’s Park, also in London. And our specialist knee and orthopaedic network extends to just south of Manchester, at The Wilmslow Hospital in Cheshire and also in the West Midlands, at The Harborne Hospital.

• Once you have been referred to an HCA UK knee specialist, and have your initial consultation, we like to arrange diagnostic imaging that can be on the same day as your first appointment
• Your consultant will discuss your history and any exercise or physiotherapy treatments you may have already undertaken
• If non-surgical treatments are no longer providing you with the pain relief or mobility levels you require, various surgical options will be discussed 

In 2023, 99% of our patients said they are likely or very likely to recommend us to their family and friends for orthopaedic care. And 97% of our orthopaedic patients rated us very good or excellent (2023 patient satisfaction survey results).

Our knee consultants are leaders in their specialist field. They have access to world-class facilities to deliver exceptional care for our patients, including:

• The full range of diagnostic imaging including the state-of-the-art EOSedgeTM low dose X-ray machine for children to weight-bearing CT scanners
• Robotic-assisted surgery tools for partial or total knee replacements (MAKO)
• Custom implants for replacement surgeries
• Fixed price self-pay knee replacement packages

We provide easy access to the leading knee experts both in London and in Cheshire. Contact us today so we can confirm an appointment with a specialist within 24 hours.

Robotic procedures provide increased precision compared to traditional knee replacement surgery. In use since 2006, our orthopaedic surgeons have performed over 1000 robotic-assisted replacement surgeries at HCA UK. Robotic-assisted surgery is performed by integrating a 3D CT scan of your unique anatomy with the actual procedure being carried out. The 3D model gives our surgeons a far greater understanding of your joint than with X-ray alone. This ensures more accuracy in terms of choosing the exact size, placing and positioning of your knee replacement implant.

For self-pay patients considering knee replacement surgery, we offer fixed price packages. To help with budgeting and to bring you peace of mind before treatment your consultant will advise you on whether you qualify for one or more fixed price options, and what the best surgical option is for you as part of your treatment plan.

Our treatment prices range from: 

• Standard partial knee replacement including prosthesis: £13,287
• Robotic-assisted partial knee replacement or custom prosthesis: £14,420
• Standard total knee replacement including prosthesis: £15,708
• Robotic-assisted total knee replacement or custom prosthesis: £16,892

2. Remember if you have a referral letter, have it to hand to confirm your orthopaedic consultant appointment

Before any treatment can be recommended, you will need to have a diagnostic scan. At HCA UK, we have the full range of orthopaedic scanners including X-ray, ultrasound, MRI, CT, SPECT and Dexa.

It will be after your initial appointment, you’ll be sent for a scan, if required.  We have over 20 diagnostic centres which means we can offer appointments on the same day of your appointment.
