I’ve had persistent knee problems for years due to pronated patellae leading to severe arthritis and very worn patellae. In late 2017 my right knee got much worse due to also damaging my cartilage and it significantly limited what I could do. After much debate I decided to go for a knee replacement with Professor Jari in February 2018, as I’m only 60 this was a big decision to make, but I received all the information I required in order to make an informed decision. I had a full knee and patella replacement and a lateral release of the ligaments to hopefully stop the new patella being pulled out of place, the knee operation all went very well. It took longer than I’d expected though for all the soft tissues to repair and heal. I did all the exercises as advised and in fact probably did too much so making it harder for the tendons and hamstring to repair. Professor Jari was excellent both with the operation and throughout my post op recovery period. He saw me regularly, arranged extra physio and advised me how to continue on the road to recovery. Then after about 6 months everything took an amazing turn for the better. My new knee is now fantastic and as a result of being so much stronger has also taken pressure off my left knee so that is also now much improved. I am back to mountaineering, cycling and swimming and I’m stronger and fitter than I’ve been for years. So whilst it may have taken longer than I expected to get back to full fitness the care I received from Prof Jari and all his team was excellent and it has been very, very well worth undergoing this knee replacement.
