Chronic knee pain can significantly impact mobility and quality of life. For some, knee replacement surgery becomes a long-term solution when non-surgical treatments are no longer effective.
Understanding your options is essential for making an informed decision about private knee replacement surgery in Canada.
At Pathway Surgery, our orthopedic specialists can help assess whether a knee replacement may be appropriate for your condition.
What Is Knee Replacement?
Knee replacement, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure that involves removing a damaged knee joint and replacing it with an artificial implant.
Depending on the extent of damage, your surgeon may recommend:
Partial Knee Replacement (PKR): Replacement of the affected portion of the joint while preserving healthy bone and tissue.
Total Knee Replacement (TKR): Replacement of the entire knee joint, often suitable for advanced joint degeneration or trauma.
Who May Benefit from Knee Replacement
You may be a candidate for knee replacement if you experience:
Stiffness or limited motion that interferes with daily activities
Persistent pain during walking, climbing stairs, or at rest
Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic injury
A consultation with an orthopedic surgeon at Pathway Surgery can help determine whether surgery is an appropriate next step for your symptoms.
Technology Used in 2025
Modern advancements in joint replacement include the use of Health Canada-approved robotic systems, such as the ROSA® Knee System by Zimmer Biomet.
Pathway Surgery performs robotic-assisted total knee replacements using ROSA technology, which provides real-time imaging and precise data to support accurate implant placement and alignment.
This system is designed to enhance surgical precision and consistency, supporting improved accuracy in joint restoration.
