Knee Arthroscopy at Spire Manchester Hospital, November 2024:
I have just returned from a week in the Lake District and enjoyed some pain-free fell walking. Also, I have reintroduced some jogging [or probably better described as fastish shuffling] into my exercise routine and so I wanted to say thank you very much for all your endeavours.

Michael Hurley
NHS Knee Arthroscopy at The Alexandra Hospital, April 2025:
My operation took place approx. 7 weeks ago as a day patient at the Alexandra hospital in Cheadle. From admission to discharge it ran like clockwork, patient care was second to none, as was my operation performed by Professor Jari and his theatre team, nurses and Anaesthetist. I have since been back to the Alexandra to carry on with rehabilitation via physiotherapy, I am pain free, gaining improved mobility day to day and back working. My only regret was not involving Professor Jari sooner hoping things would just improve, which they never do. To finish, I cannot recommend Professor Jari highly enough, he's a brilliant surgeon and a nice genuine guy who actually cares.

MAKO robotic total knee replacement at The Alexandra Hospital, December 2024:
Having heard several accounts of traumatic experiences, I have to admit, I initially approached the decision to have knee replacement with trepidation. The kindness and reassurance of Professor Jari and his team reassured me and helped me to make the decision to go ahead with surgery. Throughout my short stay in the Alexandra Hospital, care was thorough and professional and latterly, having followed the Professor’s comprehensive post-op advice, I am amazed (as are my friends and family) that the recovery has been far less painful and much speedier than ever anticipated. The improvement to my mobility was instant, even during the early days of recovery I was aware of the transformation. I cannot thank the very kind Professor Jari and his team enough. The golf buggy is now a thing of the past.

The care I received from Professor Jari and his team was fantastic from start to finish, all my queries were answered swiftly and professionally. The aftercare was also speedy and professional.

MAKO robotic-assisted total knee replacements at The Alexandra Hospital:
On first attending a consultation with Professor Jari in early 2023, I found him to be very professional and knowledgeable. I had been suffering with bone-on-bone arthritis in both knees for over 10 years.
The diagnosis was to replace both knees by MAKO surgery with the left being replaced in June 2023 and the right in October 2024. Although I was very apprehensive, I am very pleased with the results of the surgery. I found that Professor Jari was very thorough in all aspects of the process, and I have no hesitation in recommending him. The outcome from the surgery was tremendous and I am now walking normally with no pain. The Professor was really insistent on the exercise regime after the operation to achieve the best outcome.

MAKO robotic-assisted total knee replacements at Spire Manchester Hospital - December 2023 (Right Knee) & September 2024 (Left Knee):
I had suffered with osteoarthritis in both knees for some years and when I reached my mid- seventies, I finally had to make the decision that I could not put off knee replacement surgery any longer. My physio suggested I saw Prof. Jari who she said had a very good reputation. I am so glad I did. I got an appointment very quickly and found Prof. Jari both approachable and professional. After x-rays on my knees grade 4 (the worst) arthritis was diagnosed, I then had a discussion with the Professor on the best way forward. The pros and cons were clearly explained to me, and I decided to go ahead with the surgery. Both operations went very well and the follow up appointments have also been excellent. I am now walking without any pain and my right knee post-op a year feels completely normal. My left knee at four months is still slightly stiff but I am back doing Aqua aerobics and Yoga.

Knee Arthroscopy at Spire Manchester Hospital - October 2024
I was so impressed with the results of my knee surgery and the excellent care I received. It was very much appreciated. In addition to the surgery, the aftercare exercises Professor Jari gave me really helped with my recovery. Special mention also to Stephanie his medical secretary for all her help.

n-STRIDE APS Injection – September 2024
I had the n-STRIDE injection about eight weeks ago, which Professor Jari administered. Even after a couple of days, the knee felt easier, and I was also walking better, notwithstanding that I had been advised that it could take a few weeks for any improvement to show in the knee.
Eight weeks later, I can honestly report that I am now enjoying walking, and not counting each step with a wince! The improvement is really very good, and I am delighted with the results. I still get an occasional jolt in the knee and I can occasionally still feel the knee sometimes. However, the pain has subsided considerably, and thus I am walking more, which is also good for the knee.
Professor Jari suggested some resistance exercise, such as bike riding [eg exercise bike or road bike], which I am doing with good results.
Although this procedure is not guaranteed, it is worth trying, particularly if you want to avoid a knee operation as I do.
I will certainly repeat this procedure on my left knee in due course, and again on my right knee, if a booster is then thought to help. I would certainly recommend this procedure.
