Mr Carrothers was an excellent orthopaedic surgeon. I had a total knee replacement last year and the treatment I received and was excellent. I am now back playing tennis and badminton which I never expected to be doing. I would fully recommend Mr. Carrothers to anyone who has knee problems.

So I’m 51 and have just undergone a full hip replacement on my left hip , with my right hand one to be done in 12 months time . All I can say is Mr Carothers was exceptional from start to finish and I won’t consider anyone else .

Mr Carrothers has carried out both of my hip replacements using Mako robotic assistance. Latest replacement carried out November 2023. I'm now achieving near full strength and mobility plus totally pain free! Recovery has been remarkably swift with my second replacement. Returning to manual work at 7 weeks ( phased ), with most of my Gardening duties achieved by 12 weeks.

I had two knee arthroscopy approx 4 years ago now as I have an old skiing injury on one knee which had previously had 2 arthroscopy inc ACL reconstruction with another surgeon some years before. I was increasingly getting a lot of pain in the 'good' knee due to overloading & the knee with the original injury was getting increasingly painful again. I was at the point where even cycling was getting painful, let alone walking the dogs. I was actively avoiding stairs & my knees were starting to really impact on my every day life. Scans show that I now have v little cartilage in both knees, I think also a slight tear in one meniscus again (it was a while ago & ive had 4 ops now so lost track slightly!) as well as wear & tear on back of patella. Mr Carrothers listened to my needs, and lifestyle and helped make a plan around what worked best for me & spent time discussing various treatment options & long term care. He also then helped work around my competition schedule for ops & follow up injections as post op care. We decided to go with N-Stride PRP in both knees post op to help protect them from further damage. I am now 4 or 5 years post op and having moved to North Yorkshire, I'm walking the dogs on the big hills on the moors, and am also now managing to do weighted squats at the gym which is helping me get my legs stronger to protect my knees. I frequently now choose to take the stairs too. Squats & stairs are two things I wouldn't really ever be doing again till I got new knees All in all, I couldn't be happier with the outcome & am feeling like new knees are now quite some time away rather than round the corner

I had a right hip replacement on the 10th January, 2023 and the result has been fantastic. I am just about back to normal, no pain and driving. I would highly recommend Mr Carrothers and the Nuffield Hospital in Cambridge for an absolutely first class experience. Very good physio aftercare.
