My knee replacement surgeon was changed so that the hospital could fit extra surgeries in and I think it surprised both Mr. Unnithan and myself! At our first meeting on the day that surgery was scheduled, he was very concerned that I would not benefit from the surgery as the risk was high that I would not recover my mobility. However, he took the time to listen and did the operation and I am very grateful that he did as it has been far more successful than either of us imagined. I am also grateful for his advice, especially about the use of a cryo-cuff rather than frozen peas to reduce swelling and ease pain - it was comfortable and much safer to use. Also his advice to help stimulate the recovery of the nerves around the site. He fits a lot into a consultation!!! It probably means that his patients tend to have longer waiting times for the meeting, but I wasn't the only patient to say that "It was worth the wait!"
