He was completely open and honest about the condition of my knee and took time to explain the options in plain language.

Mr. Hutchinson provided me with excellent care before, during and after my operation. He always had time to answer any questions and was very easy to talk to which is important when you are in a new situation. He explained everything very thoroughly before my operation and this gave me confidence in the whole process.
I also received great care from the staff at the Nuffield during my stay.

Mr Hutchinson was very reassuring that my hip replacement would be a complete success, and it was. Within a few weeks I was walking as if I hadn't had major surgery. My friends and family couldn't believe how quick my recovery was. I am forgetting to mention Mr Hutchinson has performed two hip replacements or in his words ,a matching pair. To say he has given me back my quality of life just about sums it up.I am , once again , doing all the things I have missed doing due to the constant pain I was in.I notice the above suggests I comment on how treatment and care could be improved. Speaking from my experience I don't see how it could be any better than it was.

I had a hip replacement some 9 years ago. Before that I was hobbling around, unable to walk any great distance and had difficulty in climbing stairs because of Arthritis. Unfortunately I could not have the operation on the day scheduled because I had contracted a stomach virus and the risk of infection was too great. However I was very pleased to find out that I have been scheduled in for a Saturday shortly afterwards because Mr Hutchinson was clearing the outstanding patients. I was in and out within 4 days, and within 3 weeks I was walking with just a stick, and after two months I was walking faster than my wife - even uphill. The great joy has been that I have been pain, pill and problem free - even immediately after the operation. This has been a true life changing operation. I now have a wrist monitor and aim to walk 12,500 steps a day - thats about 5 miles. Three years ago we had the holiday of a life time trecking in the Sri Lankan highlands, last year we walked on pilgrimage from Glasgow to the Isle of Withorn with full backpacks and in November we will be walking in the Atlas Mountains. None of which would have been possible without the operation. I have been monitored annually by Mr Hutchinson and the team at Royal Derby, and been assured on every visit that if I experience a problem or have a concern then an appointment can be made for a consultation. So far this has not been necessary. On my latest consultation, 9 years after the operation, the X-rays from then and now were compared and I could not tell the difference between the two x rays, it was as if the operation had taken place yesterday. For myself, I often forget that I have had the operation and that I have a replacement hip and that must be a good measure of the effectiveness and the success of the operation. I would recommend anyone who is considering a replacement to go for it as soon as possible and walk away (literally) from the pain and the difficulties that arthritis of the hip brings.

Mr Hutchinson is an amazing surgeon. He is kind, considerate and extremely knowledgeable. He listened to my concerns, and answered my questions. I will need further orthopaedic surgery at some point in the next few years, and I will feel very safe and secure knowing Mr Hutchinson will perform it.

Profile
I am a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Royal Derby Hospital and Derby Nuffield Hospital. I have been in my current post since 2002.
I specialise in primary hip and knee replacement, revision hip replacement and the management of periprosthetic fractures.
My medical school training was at The Queens College , University of Oxford and Addenbrookes Hospital, University of Cambridge. I carried out additional training in complex hip and knee surgery during a 12 month Fellowship in Perth, Western Australia.
I submit all my cases to the National Joint Registry and the outcomes of my last 3000 joint replacement cases put me in the top 5% of UK surgeons in terms of revision rate.
Hip and knee replacement is a real passion of mine- I firmly believe you only live once and that well performed hip and knee replacement prolongs good function and improves quality of life.
