"Total Knee Replacement Surgery and Post Operative Care"

Four years after initial GP referral, I finally had my total knee replacement surgery recently. It’s been a long and frustrating wait but I must place on record that it has been worth waiting for. 

Earlier this year, I was offered a change of consultant to Mr Sibbel, which I accepted immediately. Things moved rapidly thereafter. I had a diagnostic arthroscopy in June, which then led to the total knee replacement surgery. The process for both of the events has been very slick. Mr Sibbel listened carefully to my concerns and I had every confidence in him from the start.

The procedure and associated risks were explained very clearly by both Mr Sibbel and the anaesthetist. After the procedure, the staff  in the recovery room and particularly on Bramshott ward were absolutely fantastic. I could not have wished for better treatment.

After a two night stay I was discharged home and can already feel the benefits. Although I still have some pain, the horrible feeling of instability in my right knee has gone and I can look forward to a more active retirement that I have been unable to enjoy to date.

Will you please convey my gratitude to all concerned in my care together with a hearty well done for such a fantastic service.
