New knees please.


Recommended Posts

Being referred to the specialist for knee replacement. In the current climate, I suspect it will  be a couple of years wait, minimum. Quick internet search tells me average private cost          in the UK is £12,500 per knee. However, in Poland it is half that price . Has anyone experienced surgery abroad or can offer an informed opinion? Many thanks.

Friend quoted £25k at the Duchy hospital in Cornwall but his will be a very complex operation for some reason. If you have the money go to the UK in case things go wrong. Plenty of UK private hospitals offering knee jobs for ~£15k. Also consider a week or two post-op in private nursing home.

If you go private in the UK what help will the IOM NHS be afterwards?
