You may have been putting off treatment for knee pain because you hope it will go away on its own. Or maybe you think you’ll need to leave Canada or don’t want to wait months and months just to get a diagnosis. The fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons at Surgical Solutions Network can help you get back into life by seeing you quickly. People from Calgary, Alberta; Winnipeg, Manitoba; and Toronto, Ontario, often have a knee surgery consultation within a week and surgery within a month at one of our private, state-of-the-art centres.
Whether you need knee arthroscopy, ACL repair, or knee replacement surgery, our specialists are ready to provide world-class medical care in Canada with expertise and compassion.
We are patient focused and provide effective care with human kindness.
We combine innovation with the latest technology and processes to advance surgical care in Canada and better serve patients and providers.
We are a continuously learning organization that measures, monitors, and improves every day.
We support, respect, and accept our patients, team members, and partners, while operating with honesty and integrity in providing our services.
While knee pain is common among adults, you should seek medical care if it:
Our fellowship-trained surgeons use minimally invasive techniques to treat knee pain for optimal accuracy and outcomes.
Every patient is different, and each knee surgery we perform is customized to the patient’s unique needs. Because of this variability, we cannot provide cost ranges on our website. The best way to receive a cost estimate for your potential surgery is to contact one of our patient advisors. Our financing options may be helpful for qualified patients.
Our doctors perform surgical procedures at Surgical Solutions Network’s private, accredited surgical centres across Canada. While you may need to have your surgery in another province, you will not have to leave Canada.

The Canada Health Act gives Canadians flexibility in their healthcare choices. Medical care for Canadians is insured by their provincial health plans. While out of province, any medical care beyond emergency care is covered by the patient. This means those seeking immediate, self-funded care, such as surgery, can do so out-of-province and don’t have to risk getting procedures done in foreign countries.
While procedures and patient experiences vary, recovery after knee surgery generally involves some degree of bruising, numbness, stiffness, achiness, and/or swelling initially. Post-op pain varies with procedures and level of fitness before surgery; it can usually be managed with prescription or over-the-counter pain medication. It is important to contact us if you have concerns.
Significant milestones generally include:
4 to 6 weeks using a brace, crutches, walker, or cane
4 to 12 months, depending on the specifics of the surgery and individual factors
Our surgeons conduct initial consultations via telephone or video conference. The first step is to have a pre-qualification call with a patient advisor who will determine if you could benefit from our services. If so, the patient advisor will ask you about your concerns and then review:
Our healthcare team will require your X-ray images and/or MRIs, along with some basic medical history, in order to appropriately prepare for your consultation.
There is no “best” age for knee replacement; quality of life is the most important factor. While patients are usually 50 to 70 years old, some people may require knee surgery when they’re younger. Our surgeons will evaluate your situation and help you make the best choice for you.
We limit knee surgery to patients under age 80 due to increased medical risks.
Knee surgery is considered a safe procedure when performed by an experienced surgeon in an accredited facility on a properly screened patient.
Yes. Most patients need help from an adult for about a week, but this timeframe varies widely between patients.
Because the leg must be kept straight during early recovery, most patients sleep on their back. It can be more comfortable to elevate the leg slightly with a pillow under the calf (not the knee). Some people put a pillow along each side of their knee to hold it in place and keep the other leg from bumping it.
Patients typically need a cane or walker for 4 to 8 weeks. Recovery is typically faster for people who are younger, physically fit, and commit to their physiotherapy program.
