I feel very lucky to have chosen Mr Rajaratnam from the list of approved surgeons from my insurance company. Having prevaricated and procrastinated, knowing my knee was pretty bad, I went to see Mr Rajaratnam who told me I needed a total knee replacement. I was able to have the operation at The Horder Centre in Crowborough within a few weeks, with Barry his regular anaesthetist managing the anaesthetic and pain relief brilliantly. Mr Rajaratnam visited a few hours after the op, and again the next day. The physios seemed to have a great working relationship with him too and I felt in really great hands. The knee felt part of me from the very start, aided no doubt by it being a ROSA robotic procedure too. I had no bruising, was able to stand and take a few tentative steps the same day as the op, and by the next day I was able to walk around with crutches, lift my leg and get a very good bend. Six weeks later I have been signed off by Mr Rajaratnam, but not the physios quite yet, and my recovery goes from strength to strength. I'm looking forward to playing tennis again, I'm already able to cycle and walk around the house without the crutches. In summary it has been a privilege to have such a specialist in his field, and to have had what is quite a major op carried out with so little pain and with such precision.
