This is a follow-up to my earlier review dated Jan 14, 21 which I wrote 48 hours post-surgery. At 56 years old and after leading a very full and active life the thought that I may require a hip replacement at some point never entered my mind. However, during the latter half of 2020, my left hip joint deteriorated rapidly resulting in chronic pain, disability and a degree of mental anguish. In November 2020, I had the good fortune to be referred to Dr Andrew Carrothers. His diagnosis was clear and unequivocal; in short, the hip was a mess and the only viable option for me was a total hip replacement. Dr Carrothers explained in detail the Mako robotic-assisted procedure. This procedure provides the surgeon with a high degree of precision, is minimally evasive which in turn greatly accelerates recovery. The rehabilitation and recovery journey for me has been rapid, relatively pain-free and I’ve experienced no side effects. One week post-surgery I hung up the crutches and by week three I was walking completely unaided. Sevens weeks on, strength, flexibility and endurance improve daily, at the time of writing I barely give the new hip joint a second thought. Without a doubt, Dr Carrothers is a highly skilled surgeon who has given me my life back. In addition to his surgical skills, his calm and compassionate manner provided me with a great deal of reassurance and confidence. In summary, I have no hesitation in recommending Carrothers Orthopaedics and will be forever grateful.
