I had an operation to stabilise my ankle involving ligament repair and the fitting of an internal brace. I had originally been told I was to have a different procedure but he announced his new idea to me minutes before going into the operating theatre, giving me no time to research the pros and cons of the procedure. A back slab was put on in the theatre to be taken off a few weeks later. He told me that I needed the stitches out. However, when the plaster came off he'd used staples. A bit of a shock if you're not expecting it! The lady taking off the plaster also commented on the fact that the plaster was too high on my foot and shouldn't be covering my toes. My little toe was quite squashed. 2 months down the line I had pins and needles in my foot, my leg periodically turned purple and still needed crutches. Mr Palipane said he didn't know why. He then referred me for Physiotherapy (a bit late because this should have already started). Physiotherapy appointment came through for January. Now four months later the Physio says there is no more he can do. Ankle still painful. I have lost confidence in Mr Palipane and will be asking for a second opinion.
