Knee replacement

Story from nhs.uk

"Knee replacement"

About: The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (Stanmore)

I am a nervous patient and came to Stanmore for a total knee replacement on the 30th January and am now waiting to go home on 2nd February. I don’t know what I was worried about,

The care was exceptional, I didn’t need to use my buzzer because the care team were so attentive that they seemed to anticipate my needs.

I can walk with crutches, stand unaided and can wash and dress myself. The physios have told me my recovery has been quick - so here is my tip. Listen to the team before you come for your op and do the strengthening exercises that the physios recommend.

The exercises afterwards are painful but the team make sure you have the right pain relief at all timed.

You are in great hands.

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. Thank you so much for taking the time to write a such a wonderful review of the RNOH.

Our team of clinicians and backroom staff work very hard to ensure our patients have first class treatment. If you could let me have the name of your consultant, I will forward your compliment to their team.

Kind regards.
