Mr Paul Trikha 2018-03-18 Person 5 5 0

I ruptured my ACL and tore medial in March 2017. I saw Paul Trikha in the knee clinic. He walked in, told me he was (one of) the best (!!). Turns out he might be... The knee was swollen so he refused to operate on it; told me where to get the best physical therapy for it and saw me 3 months later. The physios he sent me to were both superb. Listen to him on this front... 3 months later much improved but still unable to stand on one leg properly, he again refused to operate saying the medial was healing and that I would be one of the lucky ones who did not need an op even though ACL was bust. I struggled to think this would be the case at the time and took a second opinion from fortius clinic in London which treats most sports stars with bust ACL. Sam Church at fortius said exactly the same stuff to me as Paul Trikha. A year later and a lot of physio, both legs are the same strength on a watt bike; I have hiked across South Georgia following Shakletons mammoth hike with an ossur ultralight brace and cannot thank Paul Trikha enough for making 100% the right clinical call even though I was offering him to do it privately. He is in my view just a super lovely guy, right up there with the best in the uk. Count yourself very lucky indeed to get him on the NHS. St. Peter’s should thank their lucky stars to have him as a consultant there. In fact he single-handedly changed my view positively of the entire hospital.
