I had a third operation on my previously broken wrist/torn TFCC carried out by Mr Mathew. He carefully considered and discussed with me the technique to be used, as there were several different options. He was very metriculous in pre and post operative investigations to make sure the procedure was carried out absolutely right. Others had advised me against a third operation as it might cause more pain, more stiffness and decrease range of movement. However following surgery pain considerably decreased, stiffness did not increase and range of movement was not affected. I now have a stable wrist and noticeably less pain. I can lift up my daughter and load a car with camping gear, things that I thought I would not be able to do. I can also play the piano pain free. This has significantly increased quality of life. I consider myself very fortunate to have had Mr Mathew as my surgeon.
