Written by a patient at Spire Manchester Hospital

Mr Borrill is pleasant man who is easy to relate to. I had a osteotomy and at all stages before, during and after, I understood what was being done and why. He listened carefully to my concerns and came up with solutions. His expertise is not in doubt, he came highly recommended and lived up to all expectations. I may say my outcomes so far have exceeded my own expectation and I wish I had done this 5 years ago!

I have been seeing Jonathan for many years with my arthritic knee and his management advice was always honest & helpful. Eventually I decided that it was time to have a total left knee replacement and I have not looked back since. Jonathan explained the procedure to me before the operation and visited me afterwards in the Alexandra, Cheadle even though it was a Sunday. Fantastic care that was greatly appreciated at the time. I have recovered really well and have recently been fully discharged one year after the operation. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jonathan, a highly respected & caring professional.

Mr Borrill carried out a total left knee replacement for me in October 2019 at the BMI Alexandra, Manchester, under sedation and a spinal anaesthetic. He clearly explained everything beforehand and checked up on me afterwards. The operation was very successful and the hospital care excellent; I was able to be discharged after only two nights. I have experienced minimal subsequent pain, just some stiffness. Within a few weeks could dispense with walking aids and walk further and more easily than before my operation. I could even get back on my motorbike after 6 weeks! The incision for the operation has healed up very easily and neatly. I had four follow-up physio sessions at the Alex. where they gave me a series of exercises to follow daily, changing the exercises as the healing progressed. I can unhesitatingly reccommend Mr Borrill and the BMI Alex for orthopaedic problems.

I had a total hip replacement one year ago. Mr Borrill explained the procedure and ensured that I fully understood. His treatment, support and care have been excellent. I have made a full recovery with no pain related to the hip at all. I am fully active and cannot recommend him highly enough.

I experienced meeting Jonathan Borrill in 2015, when my daughter underwent major ACL surgery with him, he was totally amazing with her, she is now back to full sporting health. I learnt from this experience with my daughter that if I ever had to have knee surgery he would be the consultant I would choose, and boy am I glad I did! He has been a tremendous help to me. From our very first appointment he was so respectful and polite to both myself and my husband, he discussed and asked questions about the pain I was getting from both my knees, he allowed me to ask questions myself and gave me the time to get my thoughts across to him without interrupting me or ignoring me. He then gave my knees a thorough examination which led to him sending me for a scan on them both. my second visit with Jonathan was so informative, he brought my scans up on the screens and talked about what he had found, he was able to show me cm by cm the inside of my knees and he explained every detailed piece of his findings which led to me choosing to go ahead with my first knee surgery. Jonathan made sure at all times I understood what he was saying and always asked if I had any concerns about anything, or if I thought of anything once I had left to ring his Secretary and he would get back to me, which he always did. On the day of the surgery Jonathan visited me beforehand and put my mind at ease about anything I was nervous about, he explained timings and what happens when I go to theatre, he discussed my feelings about it, when I said I was unsure what type of Anaethetic to have, he told me about which one has the best recovery process, and which one would be best for me to aid that process. Because I chose the Epidural and sedation, I was able to be awake and alert as soon as the op had finished with no pain whatsoever, I was able to chat to Jonathanl who said all had gone to plan. He visited me a few hours later, after I had my xray and he was really happy. He came to visit me every day I was in hospital to see how I was and chat about my recovery and how I was feeling. Everything about him was so relaxed and happy. At my six week follow up appointment he apologised straight away about a mix up and delay in the waiting room (which actually wasn't his fault) Jonathan was once again very informative , showing me the Xrays and explaining what everything was, he asked me lots of questions about my knee, had I noticed any difference? my reply was yes I can walk again without the pain I used to have and it feels so strong. He had the biggest smile ever! We compared notes about both knees and because of Jonathan I am having no hesitation at all about having my next knee operation in February. I cant thank him enough for what he has done for me, I feel very safe and happy to have him as my knee consultant, he is one top class Man.

I am a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon with a practice that is predominantly specialist knee surgery for both adults and children.
My specialist knee practice covers all aspects of knee injuries and conditions, treatment and surgery (ligament, cartilage and meniscus). I also perform all types of knee replacement procedures including partial, total and revision knee replacement. I have a special interest in knee joint preservation surgery which includes osteotomy (realignment surgery) either alone or in conjunction with chondral (joint surface cartilage) restoration.
I treat a number of local professional athletes from football, rugby league and union, cycling and taekwondo. I take referrals from local knee colleagues for help with the management of complex knee trauma and conditions.

I have performed the following numbers of soft tissue procedures: 4000 knee arthroscopy (keyhole surgery), 650 ACL reconstructions, 20 ACL repairs, 50 revision ACL reconstructions, 50 other ligament reconstructions (PCL, MCL, LCL, PLC), 60 MPFL reconstruction (kneecap stabilisation), 180 meniscal repairs and two meniscal transplants.

With regard to knee joint preservation I have performed 135 osteotomy procedures and 30 major cartilage resurfacing procedures (ACI/MACI/OATS/MegaOATS) in addition to 200 microfracture procedures.

My joint replacement numbers are 1300 total knee replacements, 190 unicompartmental knee replacements, 90 revision knee replacements and 670 total hip replacements.
