I had been suffering from a lot of knee pain as well as difficulty walking. I attended a knee clinic in late 2022 and met with Mr Kane who I had met before when he performed an arthroscopy on one of my knees. Over the course of several subsequent consultations and x-rays he suggested that it was highly likely that hip arthritis might actually be the cause of the pain and suggested a cortisone injection in my hip to assess the impact on my knee pain. This bore out his diagnosis as the knee pain completely disappeared for a short period afterwards. We therefore agreed that a total hip replacement on my worst affected hip would be the way forward and this took place in July 2023. The operation was very successful, the knee pain has disappeared and 8 weeks on my mobility is increasing daily. Throughout the whole episode I was extremely happy that Mr Kane was my consultant. He was very approachable but highly professional and most importantly was able to provide a correct assessment of my situation. His skill as a surgeon was evident by my rapid recovery post operation. I would also mention that the care given to me by the staff at Spire Hospital was wonderful. From the nursing staff to the care attendants, all were friendly and helpful with nothing seeming to be too much trouble - and the food was great as well!
