Medics have come up with a new system of knee replacement that could see patients walking just two hours after surgery.
Most patients who undergo the new method are allowed to leave hospital within 36 hours and some are able to go home within a day of going under the knife.
Instead of being laid up in bed for at least 24 hours, patients are encouraged to bend their legs to almost 90 degrees as soon as possible and to take their first new steps.
The system combines new aesthetic techniques with highly effective pain management.
Anti-depressants and drugs traditionally used to treat fits are being employed, as medics have discovered they can act as pain killers.
About 2,000 patients will benefit from the improvements in the next 12 months alone.
The new techniques can also be used for hip and ankle treatments.
