Mr Shah removed Robert’s infected hip prosthesis and replaced it with a temporary hip joint. Once the infection had cleared, Mr Shah carried out a revision hip replacement under the NHS at Goring Hall Hospital in 2016. Robert had an excellent outcome and was delighted to be free from pain after many years.

Later that year, Robert was referred to Mr Shah again by his GP. He was recovering well from his hip replacement, but he was now experiencing considerable pain in both knee joints.

Robert had previously undergone a knee replacement on his right side with another surgeon in 2003. Unfortunately, his outcome was not satisfactory, and he experienced persistent pain and swelling following his operation. He was referred to the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital for further evaluation in 2005 and underwent surgery to improve his knee pain, which sadly wasn’t successful.

Robert was referred to Mr Shah for a third opinion. Mr Shah examined Robert’s right knee and carried out multiple investigations and recommended a second revision knee replacement.

Mr Shah carried out Robert’s second revision knee replacement in 2020 under the NHS at Goring Hall Hospital. Robert has since made fantastic progress and is walking pain-free after many years of discomfort.
