Restoring Movement and Confidence with Advanced Knee Replacement Surgery

Living with knee pain can make even simple daily activities — walking, climbing stairs, or exercising — increasingly difficult. For many patients, a knee replacement can be truly life-changing, helping restore mobility, independence, and confidence.

Modern knee replacement surgery has advanced significantly in recent years. Improvements in implant design, materials, and robotic-assisted surgical techniques mean that today’s procedures are more precise, reliable, and long-lasting than ever before.

Jon Conroy, a leading Orthopaedic Surgeon in Abu Dhabi, has performed over 3,000 knee replacement surgeries, including a large number of complex and revision procedures. He was also one of the first surgeons in the Middle East to perform Mako robotic-assisted knee replacements, helping patients achieve faster recovery and more natural movement.

With a focus on personalised care and evidence-based treatment, Mr. Conroy and his team ensure each patient receives the most appropriate and advanced solution for their needs — from initial consultation through to full recovery.

FAQs

What is robotic assisted Knee surgery?

Appointments are available at Healthpoint Hospital, Abu Dhabi.

Can I have both knees replaced at the same time?

Yes you can. As long as you are fit enough for a prolonged anaesthetic and have a normal amount of blood loss after your first knee replacement.

The benefits are a quicker overall recovery and less anaesthetic risk than two separate procedures.

A downside is the challenge of the recovery with both knees affected.

Does Mr Conroy perform knee replacements or is he a hip surgeon?

Mr Conroy has performed well over 1,000 knee replacements. He completed a knee fellowship in 2005 under Mr London in Harrogate. He subsequently completed a hip and knee revision fellowship in Brisbane Australia under Prof Crawford. This included training in computer assisted knee replacement.

Should I have my hip or knee replacement first?

If you are unfortunate enough to have hip and knee arthritis on the same side Mr Conroy will usually advise that you have your hip replacement first. A well functioning hip allows the knee to bend during knee replacement recovery avoiding long term stiffness.

Often patients have referred pain from the hip to the knee. If this is not considered in a physical assessment a patient may have an unnecessary knee procedure.

Are knee replacements less successful than hip replacements?

Both hip and knee replacements are amongst the most successful operations for improving quality of life. Knee replacement recovery can be more challenging due to pain and swelling at a time when physiotherapy is needed to maintain range of motion of the knee.

Use your consultation to ask questions about the risks and rewards of your procedure. Please include anything you feel may be important or specific to your expectations of the surgery. You will be given verbal and written information on the risks of surgery.
