After suffering from knee pain for 10 years post a sports accident, Andrew was told he needed total knee replacement.

Andrew’s Injury Background:

Andrew, a very active 63 years old, tore his right meniscus after a sports accident, 10 years back. Over the years, he developed significant pain and soreness, hindering his day-to-day activities. He wore a knee brace when walking and had shooting pain in his leg. He was barely able to participate in any sports activities which he had previously enjoyed, like golf, and had to completely give up his passion for skiing.

Andrew sought medical advice and was told he needed total knee replacement. He underwent surgery and has done really well following his High Tibial Osteotomy.

Andrew is full of praise and shares his experience:

“My operation was not difficult at all and I was off crutches within 2 weeks. I started light physio and my recovery was remarkable. I was back to my work after 2 weeks since I could walk around easily. As far as I am concerned the surgery was a total success. My knee feels like it did 10-20 years ago so it is quite remarkable. I am very pleased.”
