Paying for your own treatment is a quick and easy way to get immediate access to healthcare when you need it. At St Joseph’s Hospital, we offer fixed price packages when paying for treatment yourself, with clear pricing and no hidden charges. We also offer a range of finance options that can be personalised based on what you’d like to pay, over how long and how much deposit you’d like to pay.

 

Using health insurance

We deal with all the major Health Insurers if you have Health Insurance. In this case the insurance provider will pay for any procedures, tests and other services if you require treatment – so long as it’s covered by your insurance policy. After your treatment, we will invoice your insurer directly, allowing you to focus on your recovery.

* £14,995 is a representative guide price. Treatment prices can differ on a patient by patient case and are determined by factors such as consultation fees, surgery options, anaesthetics options and post surgery options.

Total knee replacement surgery at a glance

Be seen in as little as 48hrs. Our average knee replacement surgery wait time for initial consultation is 14 days.

Total knee replacement surgery is carried out to treat knee pain, usually due to knee osteoarthritis, which is gradual wear and tear of the joint. Such surgery can be carried out to treat arthritis in any area of the joint, especially if more than one area of the knee is arthritic.


The surgery removes both sides of the damaged joint and replaces it with a prosthesis or implant. Where arthritis is minimal you may be able to have a partial (unicompartmental) knee replacement.


Your orthopaedic surgeon will recommend the surgery that’s best for you having assessed your knee's range of movement, stability, strength and symptoms. A diagnostic scan such as an X-ray will determine the extent of the damage.


You may have already received a diagnosis from your GP and been added to an NHS waiting list, or you might be in a position where you wish to self-refer.

"I had knee replacement surgery in St Joseph's Hospital, I stayed in 2 nights. I have limited eyesight and the staff addressed this at every aspect helping me and caring for me above and beyond. Since my discharge I have had calls checking how i am doing and that I have had my follow up appointments. I would not hesitate to recommend St Joseph's Hospital to anyone".

"Having a complete knee replacement....I found every member of staff was extremely efficient and professional in their job. Nothing was too much trouble and a credit to their profession. The Hospital was extremely clean and the room and food was excellent. Thank you all at St Joseph's for making my stay a very pleasurable experience".

Knee replacement surgery FAQs

How long will it take to recover?

Most people are able to resume normal activity after a minimum of 6 weeks’ recovery, and for those looking to get back into sport and activity, it can take anywhere between 3 – 6 months. Our expert physiotherapy team can aid you with your recovery, in our hydrotherapy suite and physiotherapy centre. Our equipment is of the highest quality, and our teams can be trusted to get you back to the lifestyle you love.

Will I find a cheaper knee surgery in the area?

We conduct regular competitor analysis to make sure we are offering you the best price in Newport, Cardiff, and the surrounding area. Our independence means we can tailor our pricing to suit our patients.

Will there be any hidden costs?

The price we agree with you upon initial consultation is the price we charge. If you have to stay in hospital for longer than agreed due to a medical consultation, we will not charge you extra. You can also choose to stay after you’re medically fit to return home should you wish to spend longer with us to help your recuperation, and we are happy to arrange that with you in advance.

How long is the wait?

From consultation to surgery, it usually takes 4 weeks. We can arrange a surgery at a time and date to suit you, so you don’t have to compromise. Let us help you prioritise your health.
