Which is the optimum season to go for total knee replacement?

Depends on patient: Work schedules, vacation times, family commitments, etc all factor into the decision of when to have surgery. It depends on the patient and what works best for them.

Patient preference: There really is no particular :"best" season for having a total joint replacement. In the snow belt, sometimes the snow season for driving back and forth to therapy may be a concern. Other than that, family and work schedules are usually the driving force in deciding on the optimal time of the year to have surgery.
