I am a 67 year old man. Six weeks ago I fell and broke, or rather shattered, my right femur. Mr Dudhniwala carried out a 3-4 hour intramedullary nailing the next day. He made me feel very comfortable and calm before the operation and I woke up comfortably in bed afterwards. He visited me a couple of times in the ward where I spent ten days recovering and explained clearly what he had done and the likely path to recovery. This operation was some kind of magic to me. I could not imagine how anyone could fix a shattered femur by making just three small incisions in my leg, two at the knee and one at the thigh. These 1 - 2 inch incisions were stapled and healed quickly with no pain or soreness. The staples were removed after a couple of weeks leaving clean small scars. I met Mr Dudhniwala six weeks after the operation and he advised me to begin weight bearing with the aim of being 100% weight bearing in two weeks. This was a far quicker recovery than I had feared. I have every confidence in the expertise of this highly skilled consultant and owe him a debt of gratitude for helping me recover from an horrific fracture.
