Bilateral Knee replacement surgery

Living with arthritis or joint damage in both knees can greatly limit your movement, independence, and quality of life. Bilateral knee replacement surgery offers a safe and effective way to treat both knees in a single procedure; reducing the overall recovery time and helping you return to an active, comfortable lifestyle sooner.

With advanced surgical techniques and personalised care, our double knee replacement pathway is designed to restore movement, reduce pain, and support long-term joint health.

If pain and stiffness in both knees are affecting your daily routine, bilateral treatment may be an appropriate option. Many people experience:

• Persistent pain in both knees, even at rest
• Stiffness and swelling that limit movement on both sides
• Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or standing for long periods
• Reliance on pain relief medication to manage symptoms

We always explore non-surgical treatments first, including joint-preserving approaches and advanced injections. If these no longer provide sufficient relief, bilateral knee replacement may offer the most effective long-term outcome.

A bilateral knee replacement addresses deterioration in both knee joints during the same operation. The procedure involves:

• Removing the damaged or arthritic surfaces from both knees
• Implanting high-quality joint replacements designed to replicate natural movement
• Using modern materials and techniques to support smooth, comfortable joint function

Depending on your condition, we may recommend:

• Bilateral total knee replacement – where both knee joints are fully replaced
• Bilateral partial knee replacement – if only specific compartments of each knee are affected

In some cases, a staged approach (two separate surgeries) may be recommended based on your overall health and individual needs.

Prices include Hospital, Surgeon, Anaesthetist and one nights stay. Please note, complex cases may require individual pricing.
