Finding Knee Replacement Surgery in Nigeria: Locations and Success Rates

My mother was diagnosed with severe arthritis, and her doctor says knee replacement is the only real solution. We need to know which hospitals or clinics in Nigeria offer this procedure and what success rates patients experience. Her knee pain is constant and now affects her whole legs. Painkillers only work for a few minutes, and we want to pool resources as a family so she can find lasting relief. Are there reliable alternative treatments or therapies we could try before opting for surgery? Any advice or personal experiences with Nigerian specialists would be greatly appreciated.

I've noticed success rates can vary widely between private clinics and government hospitals, often due to differences in equipment quality and staff training.

Reach out to teaching hospitals in Lagos or Abuja, compare surgeon credentials, facility accreditation, and ask about postoperative physiotherapy schedules before deciding.
