Knee replacement may be appropriate when persistent pain, stiffness and reduced mobility significantly affect your daily life despite non-surgical treatment. An orthopaedic surgeon will assess your symptoms, imaging and general health before recommending surgery.

We need your actual knee X-ray images so the surgeon can assess the joint and determine whether surgery is appropriate. Radiology reports or written descriptions alone are not sufficient. In more complex cases, MRI images may also be requested.

An online consultation with the surgeon can be arranged, although in most cases the initial assessment can be completed using your X-ray images and medical information. You will have an in-person consultation before surgery.

We can arrange a consultation and the necessary imaging in Lithuania and provisionally reserve a surgery date. Surgery will only proceed if the surgeon confirms it is appropriate after examining you and reviewing your images.

Yes, arrival on the day of surgery can be arranged, subject to your treatment team confirming the schedule and preoperative requirements. Your in-person consultation will take place before the operation. If you prefer an earlier consultation, this can also be organised.

The hip replacement package includes three nights in a private hospital room, with meals, necessary medications, and full medical and nursing care. Additional hospital nights can be arranged at €250 per night.

The treatment package includes: Preoperative surgeon consultation, medical tests and examinations. Knee replacement surgery, general anaesthesia and a joint prosthesis.

Yes. Rehabilitation is required after knee replacement. We recommend 10–14 days, with a minimum duration of seven days. Your treatment team will tailor the programme to your needs. Exercises and recovery usually continue after you return home.

The package includes 10 days of inpatient rehabilitation with physiotherapy, rehabilitation treatments, a private room, three meals per day, necessary medications, and 24-hour medical and nursing care.

Inpatient rehabilitation can be arranged in Vilnius, Birštonas or Druskininkai. Outpatient rehabilitation is available in Vilnius.

If you arrive on the day of surgery and transfer directly from hospital to inpatient rehabilitation, separate accommodation is not needed during those stages of treatment. Additional accommodation may be needed if you arrive earlier, stay longer or choose outpatient rehabilitation.

Your stay needs to cover hospital treatment and rehabilitation. Three hospital nights followed by 10 days of inpatient rehabilitation means approximately 13 days, while a 14-day rehabilitation programme means approximately 17 days. Allow extra time if preoperative preparation is needed. Your surgeon will confirm when you are fit to travel home.

Available options include Evolution cemented, Evolution Biofoam cementless, Oxford, Balansys, Attune, GMK, NexGen and Persona prostheses. Your surgeon selects the appropriate implant based on your anatomy, bone quality, age, medical condition and the type of replacement required

You will receive postoperative surgeon visits during your hospital stay and individual instructions before discharge. Your patient care coordinator will help organise appointments, transfers and rehabilitation arrangements throughout your treatment.

Your care team will help you start walking soon after surgery, using crutches or a walking frame initially. Recovery takes several months or longer. Physiotherapy and regular prescribed exercises help restore strength and movement. Your surgeon will advise when you can return to driving, work and other activities.
