Mr Imbaldenia, question for you from your orthopaedic practice. What are the main reasons to have a knee replacement done? So the number one reason is if your quality of life is severely impacted by having a painful, stiff, sore knee. Sometimes it might even have a slight deformity, you might be slightly bow-legged or not need and if you can't do the things you want and you've tried other methods, so less invasive methods like seeing a physio or an osteopath. We've had some injections or tried painkillers. If you're still really struggling and you want to get back to that quality of life, it's definitely worth seeing an orthopaedic consultant who specialises in knees and then having a good discussion with them. Thank you very much.
