London Hip Knee

What a great mornings work at St John & St Elizabeth Hospital. Great team effort doing the first AutoCart single stage cartilage regeneration surgery at this hospital. Special thank you to Akash Patel for his expert assistance and Kaylea Jamieson from Arthrex for their invaluable support. Patient was happy for me to share the intraoperative pictures demonstrating significant full thickness cartilage loss which could progress in this 29 year old hockey player. We removed his pincer and cam lesions and repaired his labrum to give him the best possible chance to return to his sporting activities.

Wow! Received this handmade card from patient just 2 weeks after hip replacement—already up and moving with a new lease on life! Moments like these remind me why I do what I do. Grateful to have the skills to make a real difference.

I often explore hip preservation techniques as alternatives to total hip replacement, especially for younger patients or those with less advanced hip disorders.
