Professor Sanjiv Jari

I ruptured the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) and damaged cartilage in my right knee playing football. I was referred to Prof. Jari as an NHS patient at the Alexander Hospital in October 2021. Prof. Jari discussed my aims and objectives and appetite to return to competitive sports in order to develop the most effective treatment plan. Prof. Jari explained the pros and cons of a variety of different treatments ranging from physiotherapy, keyhole surgery or a full reconstruction of the ACL ligament using the patella tendon. I felt reassured and fully informed and decided to opt for the full ACL reconstruction which took place in October 2022. Despite a few cancellations due to Covid-19, both Prof. Jari’s office and the Alexander Hospital took steps to ensure I was seen as quickly as possible. I’ve struggled for such a long period of time not being able to carry out the activities I wanted to do. I’m now approximately six months post-op and can already feel the benefits of the ACL reconstruction. I have been referred back to my GP and left in the capable hands of the physiotherapy team at the hospital to continue my rehab. However, Prof. Jari also encouraged me to keep in contact with him and his team should I have any further issues down the line. On the whole, I’m absolutely delighted with the treatment I have received and would highly recommend Prof. Jari and the Alexandra Hospital for anybody considering a similar procedure.

Two years have elapsed since I had N-stride APS treatment on my right knee, delivered by Professor Jari. I am pleased to say that I am able to walk and undertake daily tasks without any discomfort. For me, this treatment has been a “game changer”. Geoff Taylor

After many years of severe knee pain and unsuccessful physio treatments, in 2018 I was referred to Professor Jari for replacement knee surgery. At this point in time, I had great difficulty walking and felt like my independence was diminishing. On my first visit to see Professor Jari, he took great care in explaining my diagnosis, proposed surgery, and treatment plan. I immediately felt at ease and confident to proceed. My surgery was scheduled at the Alexandra Hospital, Cheadle where the support team organizing the pre and post-operative appointments and admission provided me excellent support in completing documentation and answering my questions. The transformative surgery from Professor Jari allowed me to regain my mobility and confidence. In 2022, I required another knee replacement and based on my previous positive experience, the only option was to engage Professor Jari. Once again, I had a very successful experience.

Firstly, I cannot begin to explain what a difference having both knees replaced has done to me personally and am writing this testimonial to highly recommend Prof Sanjiv Jari whom specialises in Orthopaedics at Spire Manchester Hospital. I have recently had 2 Mako Robotic Assisted Total Knee Replacements with Prof Jari, my left was done on 26th August 2022 (I’m nearly 6 months post-op) and more recently my right was done on 6th January 2023 (6 weeks post-op) and it is time for an amazing update on my progress! Before having my first knee replacement I felt very apprehensive and worried about the whole procedure, this soon changed once meeting Prof Jari. He gave me his time and listened to how everything was affecting me and having an impact on my day-to-day living. After deciding that this was the correct procedure to have and that it was deemed appropriate, he reassured me massively and explained the whole procedure at great lengths and in great detail, making sure I fully understood everything (do’s, don'ts, benefits etc). On the day I was admitted for my first knee replacement surgery, I was so nervous, but Prof Jari came to see me before going for surgery and again we spoke about what was going to happen during the procedure and answered any questions that I had, which again, made me feel so much more at ease. During my 2-night stay at the Spire Manchester Hospital, Prof Jari came to see me during both days. Prof Jari also recommends his patients use a CPM Machine (continuous passive motion) after surgery, and I can safely say the advantages I felt using this post-op is that it helped improve my range of motion and helped decrease pain and prevented me from stiffening up. I was so surprised at the result of my surgery and how it made me feel, I couldn’t believe how quickly I was back on my feet and able to do my daily routines again. I even went back to work 4 weeks after having surgery. During this time and after speaking with Prof Jari previously, I knew that my other knee also needed to be replaced and again, due to my successful progression after my first knee replacement, Prof Jari advised me to get booked in for my 2nd surgery. I was admitted for this on 6th January 2023 (4 months after 1st knee replacement), Prof Jari never ceased to amaze me. Although I had recently had my first operation, he again dedicated his time in coming to see me before surgery, explaining the procedure and again answering any questions that I had. This was another success, I was up and about even quicker after this surgery, doing my day-to-day tasks/routine and on this occasion, returned back to work after 3 weeks. On both occasions I was able to drive myself after 4 weeks of having each one done (this will of course be different for everyone). Before having surgery and from the time I got out of bed, I was in constant pain that had to be managed with prescribed medication. My daily tasks and routines became less and less due to the restrictions I was experiencing. My hobbies and interests had become non-existent due to having so much trouble in walking and standing for long periods at a time and this is why I’m so excited and delighted to share my experience with everyone as I can’t believe how far I have come in 6 months. I want to say a HUGE thanks to Prof Jari and all his team in theatres and also not forgetting his secretary Stephanie Snowball, the relationship I have experienced with both throughout my whole experience has been amazing, warm, friendly and very professional. Prof Jari’s manner post-op and aftercare is second to none, it is very apparent that he is a very caring person towards his patients and passionate in what he does and the results he achieves are unbelievable and amazing and that is why I am wanting to share my successful story with everyone.

From my first consultation with Professor Jari I was immediately put at ease. My treatment options and possible outcomes were fully explained. It was decided that the best course of treatment was to undergo Mako robotic total knee replacement surgery. On the day of my operation Professor Jari and the staff at the Alexandra hospital provided great assurance and helped to calm my nerves. After surgery my knee was on a machine that gently moved my knee to minimise the risk of my knee becoming seized. I was informed that only Professor Jari used this machine. Within a day of surgery I was able to walk to the bathroom surprising myself and the nurses. I was discharged after 2 days and the degree of bend in my knee was superior to when I was admitted. Within four weeks I was back in the gym doing my classes whilst following the recommend exercise programme. Follow up appointments with Professor Jari were reassuring and any concerns I had were addressed in an easy to understand manner. I would not hesitate to recommend Professor Jari and would recommend Mako Robotic replacement knee surgery.
