Save Your Knees
A decade of arthritic knees, what actually helped me protect them, and the plain truth about replacement when I ran out of road.
Protecting arthritic knees, and the rehab that got me walking again.

Knee Replacement Resources

We point readers to authoritative, independent organisations for knee replacement and joint-health information. The sources below publish reliable, evidence-based guidance, and we draw on them when we research articles.

Knee replacement and orthopaedics

  • AAOS OrthoInfo (American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons), patient guides on total and partial knee replacement, recovery, and activity afterwards.
  • NHS, Knee replacement, an overview of who it is for, how it is done, and recovery (UK).
  • Mayo Clinic, Knee replacement, procedure, risks, and what to expect.

How long implants last

  • National Joint Registry (NJR), UK data on how long knee replacements survive in practice and how often they are revised, the most honest answer to “how long will it last”.

Arthritis and joint health

  • NICE, clinical guidance on the management of osteoarthritis in over 16s.
  • Versus Arthritis, patient information on knee osteoarthritis and living with joint pain.
  • Arthritis Foundation, osteoarthritis resources and self-management.
