I knew a year ago that I was going to need a hip replacement "eventually", but I was hoping to put it off as long as possible, despite pain in my hip, back, leg and knee. I went to a lecture by Mr Dandachli where he discussed the symptoms experienced by a patient needing full hip replacement. I had them all! Mr Dandachli discussed "conventional" surgical approach versus Superpath and I decided that I wanted to have my hip done via the Superpath approach, even though it meant paying privately at the Warwickshire Nuffield. I have exercised and tried to keep fit all my life and so it made sense to me to have a minimally invasive procedure. I even did my exercises the morning of surgery. I was home within 2 days and handed back my crutches after 3 weeks. My recovery has progressed swiftly, at 8 week post-surgery I am cycling on a static bike 4k a day, walking and doing Pilates. The scar is healing well and is a lot smaller than I had expected. I can't recommend Mr Dandachli highly enough. His quiet, reassuring manner meant that I had no worries about having the surgery. Everything was clearly explained, both pre and post-op. From the first time I met him, I felt completely confident that if had to have surgery, then I wanted him to do it. I only wish I hadn't waited so long to get it done!
