I agree wholeheartedly with all the positive comments about Mr Faisal. He explained the Superpath procedure clearly and listened to any concerns that I had at my initial consultation. My speedy recovery clearly indicates that the operation was successfully carried out. After a month, I can walk unaided and am no longer reliant on pain killers. I would strongly recommend Mr Faisal to anyone needing a hip replacement. My considerable thanks go to Mr Faisal and his team.

I feel very privileged to have had hip surgery performed by Mr Faisal in December 2019. What a gentleman he is! Absolutely approachable, thoroughly understanding, completely honest, totally positive, and explicit in his detailed description of what to expect. A delightful man who never made me feel I was wasting his time by asking so many questions. I’m still getting pain in my buttocks but Mr Faisal assured me today that it is from the hamstrings, due to them having to 'relearn' their role after many months of my walking in a different way to accommodate the pain radiating from my painful hip. It will improve in another few weeks. That awful nauseating pain in the groin and joint areas I'd had prior to surgery disappeared as soon as I woke up after the operation. Mr Faisal assured me that after two weeks I would be off regular medication and he was right. Now, four weeks later, (after two physio appointments,) I feel like a new person. I must also give full credit and congratulations to all the staff, nursing and ancillary alike, as well as the physiotherapists at BMI Meriden. What a wonderful team you are!

Mr Faisal conducted a minimally invasive hip replacement on me on November 12th 2019. Immediately after the operation, he confidently told me I would be discharged the next day, and on discharge, he also told me I would be driving after 3 weeks, which was also correct. The information Mr Faisal gave me before, during & after the procedure was invaluable to help me understand how to manage my recovery. The quality of the surgery, particularly the small, neat incision, along with very little post-op pain was superb. Mr Faisal has an excellent confidence-boosting way of communicating, which I would rate as equally important with surgical skills. His whole team at The Nuffield deserve praise for the quality & kindness of their care. My only suggestion for improvement would be that Mr Faisal could clone himself, giving freedom from pain to twice as many people. I look forward to limping back to Mr Faisal's consulting room with my other, failing hip in about 11 months. Thank you

I had a total right hip Superpath replacement at The Chase Nuffield Warwickshire on 15th November and I am very pleased with the outcome and the speed with which I am recovering. I had a spinal anaesthetic, after consultation with the Anaethatist, which proved a good choice as I was fully asleep (after sedation) for the operation, and afterwards was awake and very alert without the normal post general anaesthetic side effects. I was able to get out of bed and start walking with a walking frame the following morning, and soon using crutches. I was discharged on the 2nd day after Mr Faisal had visited me, reviewed an x-ray of the new hip, and the Physio team were happy I could walk up and down stairs. Since discharge I have made sure I took my painkillers as prescribed (really necessary to enable me to get active again), followed the Physio recommended exercises, and taken daily walks, extending the distance each day. After 16 days I am able walk 1.5 Kms (slowly) and the only pain I have is in the Hamstrings on the operated leg which are improving every day. This appears to be normal and will resolve itself (with exercise) in 6-8 weeks. The treatment and care I received from Mr Faisal and his team, as well as the nursing staff at the Nuffield, has been first class. The accommodation and food were also very good and helped me through what could have been a traumatic experience. I have had my first follow up consultation with Mr Faisal, saw the X-rays taken of the new hip in situation, and the wound is healing well with only a small scar. I look forward to my follow up Physio in a few days time. I would thoroughly recommend Mr Faisal for hip replacement, and the Superpath method which certainly has speeded up my recovery.

Profile

Mr Faisal qualified in 1992 from the prestigious Aligarh University in India. He then went on to complete his masters (MS) in Orthopaedics. He completed his UK training in the West Midlands, Sheffield and Warwick. He also did a one year fellowship in hip and knee arthroplasty in the UK and supplemented this with fellowships at world renowned lower limb reconstruction units at Mayo Clinic, USA and at Vancouver General Hospital, Canada.

Mr Faisal has extensive experience in primary and revision hip and knee replacement especially minimally invasive hip replacement, ceramic on ceramic and uncemented hip replacements.

Mr Faisal also performs hip replacements using the SUPERPATH technique which is a tissue sparing procedure allowing patients to get back their mobility quicker and walk unassisted the day after surgery and leave the hospital without the restrictions normally patients follow after total hip replacement. A SUPERPATH Hip replacement technique is designed to precisely reconstruct the hip without cutting muscles and tendons or stretching muscles that are important for hip function.

Mr Faisal also offers customised total knee replacement surgery using patient specific instruments to streamline total knee replacement surgery according to patients anatomy. The Zimmer Patient Specific Instruments Planner is the next generation in surgical planning. The surgeon can preoperatively view the patient’s anatomy in its purest geometrical form to develop a customised surgical plan for each patient.


Mr Faisal has been working as a Consultant in Lower Limb surgery at Warwick Hospital since 2008
