Thanks for the replies if I went ahead I would consider using Balbrough Hospital near Clown been their before but at that time nothing could be done. The one thing I have been told is that an replacement knee only  lasts a certain amount of time before it needs replacing depending on wear and tear how long do they last ? 

Had both of mine done at Barlbrough, The staff were great!, Had my first (Left one) done in 2015, It's giving me gip already though and feels like it's worn some, May be due to a heavy job I had, Had my right one done and within a week of returning to work my left foot went in to hole and I fell fully on to my new (2019) right knee, Had some bad pains with it for months after but it's settled down now, I finished work late last year so less stress to them!, Both were only half joints though

I can't squat any more though or kneel down as they hurt like crazy then!!

Further to my earlier post - I used Barlborough...  it was N.H.S  treatment though... yes the new knee lasts only so long - hence me being put off by doctors until I was into my 60s.  Good luck with whatever you decide.
