About knee osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a condition that makes joints painful and stiff. In the knee, the protective cartilage on the ends of the bones breaks down, which causes pain, stiffness and problems moving the joint.

How we know this
NHS RTT data, July 2026.
Trauma and orthopaedics as a whole, not knee replacement alone.
Wait or Pay is independent and is not the NHS. We show the routes and let you choose. Nothing here is medical advice.
How long will you really wait, and how could you go sooner?
Your free dashboard compares all four paths for knee replacement: wait, switch to a faster NHS hospital, part-private, or fully private. It names the faster hospitals near you, shows what going private would cost, and gives you letters ready to send. You can print it or save it as a PDF. Free, and nothing is locked or paid.
