At Spire Clare Park Hospital, we have vast experience in performing knee replacement surgery in our high-quality facilities, including two operating theatres with laminar flow. These theatres regulate air flow to reduce the risk of infection.

Some of our consultants use 3D models of your knee, created using computer-assisted technology to help guide them during your operation.

Getting here

Spire Clare Park Hospital is set between Farnham and Fleet, providing treatment for patients in Surrey and surrounding areas. Farnham train station is a 10 minute taxi ride away, with free parking available.

Your consultations

Consultations will take place in one of our 11 private and accessible rooms. Your consultant will ask about your medical history and may recommend tests and scans to help examine your joints in more detail.

Consultations are also a good time to ask any questions you have about your surgery.

On the day of your procedure, our ward staff will show you to your room and get you settled in. If you’ve come with a friend or family member, they’re welcome to wait in our lounge or restaurant while you have your operation.

Your consultant and surgical team will prepare you for your operation.

Anaesthetic options

You’ll probably have a general anaesthetic, so you’ll be completely asleep. However, sometimes it’s preferable or necessary to have an epidural (spinal) anaesthetic, where you’re numb from the waist down. If so, your anaesthetist can give you sedatives to help you relax during the operation.

Visit our main knee replacement page for more information.

During your operation

Your consultant will make the necessary incisions and begin to remove worn or damaged areas of your knee joint. They’ll then fit your new knee and close your incisions.

The operation should take no more than a couple of hours. You’ll start your recovery at Spire Clare Park, staying with us for two to three days.

After surgery, you’ll begin recovery in one of our 34 comfortable private bedrooms. Your room will have:

• Armchair
• En-suite facilities
• Side table
• TV
• Window

Our team will ensure you’re as comfortable as possible while you recover, providing pain relief to help manage any of the normal discomforts you might feel.
