Mr Timothy Kane 2015-01-13 Person 5 5 0

I was referred as an NHS patient to Mr Kane for investigation of lifestyle limiting hip problems. A full hip replacement (FHR) was recommended. He fully explained the reason for his diagnosis and the overall details of the FHR procedure and follow up protocols. All along he explained topics in clear and sympathetic terms and not leaving the patient lost in medical terminology. His attention to patient needs was faultless throughout consultation ,operation and post-op and he was ever willing to answer questions and discuss any patient anxieties. Whilst not expert in undergoing FHRs, I can only say that the resulting cure of my hip problem is way better than my expectations; am now able to walk with a normal gait and as far as am able to tell, the orientation and sizing of the new joint is perfect - I have heard from acquaintances who have had FHRs that resulting uneven leg length is not uncommon. From my experience of treatment from Mr Kane, I would not have the slightest hesitation in recommending relatives or acquaintances to Mr Kane for diagnosis and surgery. He is clearly in my view a highly skilled and well experienced orthopaedic surgeon who deserves proper professional recognition.
