I had been previously treated by Mr Patel for a Distal Biceps tendon rupture simply because I needed my strength to continue my hobby as a sports coach. I had gone to St Heliers with the injury who basically sent me home with advice to take paracetamol and rest. I was in my early 60's then - maybe this was the reason. However, I had no hesitation in seeking a fix then for my arm and had complete confidence in Mr Patel's approach to the procedure. I was kept informed before during and after my hospital stay, and the follow up appointments were thorough and reassuring. On this second occasion, I injured my shoulder which necessitated a rotary cuff repair procedure. Again, no hesitation in seeking Mr Patel out for the operation. This was performed with keyhole surgery, minimising tissue damage and shortening recovery time. I was 66 then, and the recovery time was quite long. Extensive and thorough Physiotherapy was needed, and the physios work really closely with Mr Patel in achieving maximum strength and mobility as well as range of movement. I would say after 12 months I have around 95% of my original strength and ROM. I would have no hesitation in again being treated by Mr Patel, although I would hope I would stay healthy and fit enough not to need to.
