Osteoarthritis affects around 350 million people worldwide, often leading to discomfort and limited mobility, especially in the knee joint, which bears most of your body’s weight. But life’s too short – why suffer?

To knee or not to knee.

When is the right time for knee replacement surgery?

You’ve probably heard you should wait as long as possible before getting that knee replacement.

Newsflash:

If you’re suffering with persistent issues, and nothing is helping, new studies suggest it's better to get it done earlier^[2].

People also think trading in your knee is only for boomers. Incorrect. Younger patients with less-advanced arthritis tend to have fewer complications and better outcomes^[1].

Team effort

Here are some signs that your knee might be waving the white flag:

Walking up stairs feels like summiting Everest.
You’re in pain even when you’re watching Netflix or trying to catch some Z’s.
There’s no ignoring that inflammation and swelling.
You’ve tried everything (from physio to bio to medications,
and even injections).

Life’s too short for stiff, aching knees and drawn out recoveries.
Let’s get you back to doing what you love, with a little extra swagger
in your step. Your knee will thank you.

Not all knee replacement implants are the same.

Ask your doctor about the type of implant they’ll use.
