Professor Damian Griffin OBE TD VR BM BCh MA MPhil FRCS(Tr&Orth)

Written by a patient at University Hospital Coventry

Prof Griffin was recommended to me following to failed hip arthroscopies. I was told by my previous consultant that I was to accept that I wouldn't ever run again and that whatever pain I had was muscular. This was in contradiction to my own and my physiotherapist's views. I am 39 years old am desperate to lead an active life without pain. From the start Prof Griffin gave me hope and confidence that he could help me. He was clear about the options and recommended comprehensive tests to ensure that he knew what the issues were before undertaking surgery. Prof Griffin knew that I was nervous, as this would be my third operation on the same hip, and was excellent at putting me at ease. I would highly recommend Prof Griffin and his team and I cannot thank him enough.

I suffered with bouts of hip pain over 17 years and a GP and two consultants were unable (and unwilling) to diagnose the problem. When Professor Griffin looked at my MRI he could see the problem straightaway. A little over 3 months after hip arthroscopy I continue to be pain-free and able to go back to sport. The professor must be a skilled surgeon because there was minimal pain directly after the procedure, it was a quick process (half an hour or so) and the scars have healed well with minimal discomfort. My physiotherapist recommended him to me as a surgeon who specialises in treating young, active people with hip problems not caused by arthritis. I wish I had found him sooner! Highly recommended.

I am an active sportsman’s and enjoy playing a wide variety of sports such as football and squash. I had an injury with my hip and after many physio sessions and examinations I was referred to Professor Damian Griffin. After an examination from the professor it was discovered that I had an issue with hip impingement and after a discussion I decided surgery was the best option. The whole course of treatment was easy from beginning to end which included being diagnosed, having surgery and going through physio to recover. I was made aware of the all the steps and processes and exactly what was going to happen. I have made a full recovery and can now look forward to returning to the sports I enjoy.
