Your Healing Journey

About Total Knee Replacement

Your doctor will explain to you how the surgery will be performed, its risks and benefits, and all the things you need to know before your surgery.

You will be asked to complete some questionnaires so that we can understand your knee condition better. You may also be contacted by our staff.

Preparing For Your Surgery

An education class will be conducted by our healthcare professionals to prepare you for surgery.

Pre-admission Procedures

You will be assessed by an anaesthetist to make sure that you are fit for surgery. You will also be counselled about the cost of surgery.

Surgery

You will be contacted by our staff to prepare you on the day prior to surgery. Do remember to bring the necessary items for your stay!

Recovering After Surgery

After surgery, you will be transferred to the ward for recovery and rehabilitation. The team will assess and ensure your readiness before discharge.

Recovering At Home

Continue to do your daily exercises and come back for your follow-up appointments and rehabilitation sessions at the clinics.
