Mr Andrew Carrothers

Written by a private patient at Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital

Whilst awaiting a right knee replacement, I sustained an injury to my left knee, making walking extremely difficult. Fortunately I met Andrew Carrothers who not only listened to me with sensitivity and empathy, he gave me total confidence in the two procedures needed. Less than four weeks after left knee arthroscopy to repair a macerated meniscus, he performed robot assisted knee replacement on my right knee. My recovery has been straight forward and as both Mr Carrothers and the physiotherapist have told me, I am making excellent progress and am 'ahead of the curve for movement and mobility'. Andrew Carrothers has changed my life and at 68, to regain my mobility to this degree, feels like a miracle. I highly recommend him to anyone needing such surgery, to 'relaunch' their life.

I felt Mr Carrothers really listened and asked the right questions to make a decision based on the answers provided. Iam young for hip replacement (only 53) but he gave me options (based on needs, work requirements and lifestyle) that were available offering total transparency through the whole consultation process. The surgery was a complete success with very minimal pain from the hip joint (after complete replacement) immediately after surgery. The worst element was the lack of sleep in the first two weeks (having to sleep on one's back) but recovery is rapid and i really noticed a massive step forward at 4 weeks and have seen increasing physical activity and range of movement every day. I felt the hospital (Nuffield Cambridge) and Mr Carrothers worked in tandem and it was a well oiled machine in knowing the recovery steps and process to get you on your way but not taking it too quickly. I could not fault the whole team and my quality of life has been restored very quickly.

I was recommended to see Mr Carrothers by a friend who had a hip replacement six months earlier. I was able to make an initial consultation within a few weeks and I was impressed at how at ease he made me feel. It was of course necessary to have an x ray to diagnose the problem and Mr Carrothers discussed the findings and his suggestions to proceed with a full right hip replacement. The procedure was fully explained and I was given a leaflet regarding the advantages of using the Mako robotic computerized machine . I was surprised at how quickly the recovery period was compared with my knee operation some five years ago.
