I had a cycle accident which left me with a complicated open fracture of my humerous. I underwent surgery in Buckinghamshire to fix it, but was in agony weeks after the operation. I stayed with my daughter to help me cope with the pain but when I got to the point when I was wanting someone to amputate my arm, I presented at A & E in Brighton University Hospital. The treatment I received was second to none. Mr Phaednis operated on my arm to decompress the ulna nerve, enabling me to commence physiotherapy and hand therapy quickly. During the physiotherapy process, the metalwork in the original repair snapped and the pain was excruciating. Once again, due to pain, I wanted to have the arm amputated. Mr Phaednis responded extremely quickly and professionally. He understood immediately that I wanted to get back to cycling; he treated me in a holistic, patient centred way which reassured me and worked hard to ensure that I was operated on as quickly as he possibly could. After extensive, lengthy, and intrusive surgery to replace the metal work, take a bone graft from my hip and neaten the scar I commenced 2 years of physiotherapy and hand therapy; I’m now happily back out on my cycle. The nerve continues to heal, but mentally and physically recovery has been made possible thanks to him and I’m delighted with the result. Mr Phaednis takes pride in his work, is extremely professional, listens, is compassionate and supports you post operatively. I am very grateful for the care he provided for me ……… I could have been semi-disabled had I not received his care. He is a really pleasant, gifted, humble man. I highly recommend him for upper limb surgery.
