I saw Mr Chapman Sheath when my knee replacement became loose. He was helpful and responsive to get me on his list for a revision. However, by the time I came to surgery day, my knee was in a very bad way. Implant was very loose and had worn significant amount of bone away. He attempted the revision but did not have necessary size etc of knee replacement parts. He said upon my waking from surgery that he would order correct size and bring me back within 6 weeks. Sounded bearable. However… I waited almost 6 months with a rod through my entire leg holding it straight as he’d already taken my knee joint out. I was unable to walk and in huge pain 24/7 throughout. During all those months I chased for updates and was told it’s still being made etc. I struggled hugely mentally during this time, but I gave him benefit of doubt as I believed him. It was only on my complaint to Univ Hospital Southampton that I was told no joint was being made. Mr Chapman Sheath told me ‘I’d have to stay like Jake the peg’ when I asked what would happen. He could not admit he was not able to help me. Thankfully, very soon after my complaint, UHS acknowledged they could not help me and referred me to an expert in Birmingham. Prof Jeyes in Birmingham gave me my life back. I am eternally grateful to him. I would never recommend Mr CS especially for knee revisions. He is arrogant and has no empathy for his patients.

I thank you for leaving your honest review of my local NHS practice several years ago - I remember your exceptionally unique and difficult case well Your account of the events surrounding your rather unique revision surgery is partially correct ( mainly in the long delay between attempted and successful surgeries) but sadly does not reflect either the cost nor unique technical difficulty and enforced delay in getting a one-off custom implant made in the USA ( sadly subsequently stopped by UK and US medical law changes at the time) - denying us in the NHS a chance to complete your surgery I am delighted that after I personally discussed your case and referred you to Professor Jeys in Birmingham you have done so well ( which was of course always our intention too) I wish you all the best for the future

Having had quite negative experiences in the past two years within the NHS both at GP referral and consultant level. I went to see Mr Chapman-Sheath he immediately put me at my ease, with his knowledge and professional approach. After the operation on my left knee meniscus repair last Thursday I have had no pain which is remarkable, I played elite sport from a young age which led to two right knee operations age 15 and 29 both were very painful, swollen and bloody post surgery. I don't know how Phil does it but I know when the time comes for me to have a knee replacement as it is shot to bits where I will be going. I am extremely thankful to have found such a highly regarded and caring consultant.

Not only is Prof Chapman-Sheath a great surgeon but a very down to earth person !! From start to finish totally honest and easy to talk to. His care was second to none. I’m in the early stages of the surgery but getting on well and cannot thank him enough. I feel honoured to have had him as the surgeon for the procedure. I’ll give more as time goes on. Thank you so much Sir for your professionalism and easy nature.

Not sure where to start I have had bilateral knee replacements, one 21 years ago and the other 18 years ago. When it came to needing a revision on both I was so happy to have the excellent treatment from the same surgeon. I had one in March and the other 6 weeks ago. I am extremely grateful for how I was treated with such professionalism from everyone. Thankyou for giving me my quality of life back
