I had high tibial osteotomy knee surgery performed by Mr Amit Shah at the Spire Hospital Blackpool in May 2023, Mr Shah is a brilliant surgeon and the procedure has been a huge success for me, and it has prevented me having a full knee replacement. One year on I am now walking around 12/15 K a day with my dog, previously it would have only been around 3K and then the pain would get to much for me, I would encourage anyone who is offered this as an alternative to a new Knee to go for it, the future benefits are well worth it

I cannot thank Mr Shah enough for the first-class care I received. He listened to me and understood how important it was to have my surgery promptly. I am a self-employed fitness instructor so it was incredibly important to not become increasingly disabled and deconditioned by my arthritic hip. I also have RRMS and find regular exercise helps to keep me strong and well. He was lovely to talk to with a charming sense of humour.
My recovery has been swift and I started teaching Chair-based exercise 10 days after my surgery which also served as rehabilitation for me. I have been able to keep my livelihood because of his excellent care and expertise.

The consultation went well, Mr Shah explained why I needed a full hip replacement and put me on the list.
The wait was about 11 months before being admitted at Spire hospital Blackpool.
All staff at Spire were fantastic, Mr Shah has a wonderfully team.
Every point of the process was explained well and the procedure was a success.
My follow up appointments were all good with short waits on the days.
Mr Shah was very professional and accommodating at my discharge explaining and answering all my questions and concerns.
Specialises in
- Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery
Profile
I have been working within orthopaedics since 1998.
I have 3 orthopaedic degrees from India, 3 more from the UK including the FRCS in trauma and orthopaedics and am on the GMC specialist register to practice as a consultant in trauma and orthopaedics.
My specialist interest is in hips and knees(hoping the name of the website was a giveaway)
I do believe it is necessary to restrict ones practice to one or two specialist areas and I think its difficult to deliver great outcomes unless the focus is narrow
I have been in the NorthWest since 2003 and have enjoyed learning from some superb surgeons in some well run hospitals
This includes working at Wrightington Hospital(which is one of the centres of excellence for orthopaedic work) as the John Charnley Fellow learning how to tackle complex hip and knee problems.
My focus is on delivering an ethical and sensible consult to start with. An ability to explain the pathology (in simple terms!) and then laying out the options available is vital to this.
Sometimes its about giving you time to make that call and in some cases its about having that additional information to get your head around the problem.
With hips and knees I deal with all pathologies related to and including sports injuries, having a painful or unstable joint due to early wear and tear to severe forms of arthritis. Your treatment may range from getting an understanding and then walking away, physiotherapy, injections to the joint or around it, key hole surgery, various forms of joint replacements (talk to me about options and materials).
On a personal front, I have a teenage son and a younger daughter(who still thinks i am great), love the following in no particular order: cricket(mainly watching occasionally doing), swimming(do this one), and an occasional dram of a good single malt(definitely do this one)
