J. Barnes

Total Knee Replacement at The Spire Hospital Manchester April 2021

Pre-op diagnosis and care:
Reassuring and informative regarding management of a severely arthritic knee. Professor Jari and his team gave excellent personal, specific instructions and advice about expectations of surgery and preparations during the pandemic.

Surgery:
Covid secure procedure on admittance made me feel comfortable and confident. Extremely attentive staff in all aspects before, during and after surgery.

Due to a pre-existing medical condition, the anaesthetic used was tailored specifically and administered by a highly professional team, totally considerate and reassuring throughout.

Hospital post-op care:
Thoroughly professional and pre-emptive social, medical and physio care.

After a 2-night stay, I left the ward having seen a physio 3 times and was provided with a list of the exercises to do at home.

Onward care:
Fortnightly physio and home-based exercises helped the knee go from strength to strength. After 12 weeks, a few holes on the golf course were possible. As I’d been using a buggy until surgery, it was a thrill to walk the course and win a competition after a few more weeks.

A big thanks to Professor Jari and his highly professional team at The Spire Manchester. A drink is waiting for you all at the 19th hole!

Dear Professor Jari

RE n-STRIDE APS treatment – 27th March 2021

I thought it would be simpler to email you this update on my progress since having the treatment about a month ago.

In brief:

I am pleased to report that my knee is no longer as painful as it was before treatment.
I have virtually complete articulation – I can now get out of my car without experiencing pain and stiffness and, without, being too trivial, I can now get my socks on without having to bend too much as I can now bend my knee.
I can now go up and down stairs normally.

Unfortunately, some of the benefits of the treatment are eclipsed, on occasions, by sciatic pain that I suffer, and have suffered for some considerable time, down my right leg. My osteopath is providing ongoing treatment for this and, thanks to regular visits to his clinic, the issue is far less irritating.

If I had to provide a “Satisfaction Percentage” for the treatment, I would give the overall improvement as 90%.

Yours sincerely
Geoff Taylor

Just over 9 weeks ago I had a Mako Total Knee replacement performed by Professor Jari and I cannot thank him enough for making a major procedure a positive experience. After suffering problems for over 7 years, I am now walking with a normal gait and am mainly pain free, just the odd niggle as part of the rehab process. I am walking 2 miles without any aids, cycling for 25 minutes on the indoor bike, and returned to Pilates 2 weeks ago (via zoom in the current lockdown), although avoiding kneeling exercises that take the weight on the operated knee. Professor Jari explained thoroughly about the operation, post-op care, rehab and answered all my queries clearly during the consultation process. The operation went smoothly, and I was home after 2 nights, moving around on crutches, with minimal pain. As I continue my rehab, with physio help, I am confident that I will be back cycling outdoors, walking in the Lake District, and playing walking rugby before too long. I would not hesitate to recommend Professor Jari for a Mako Total Knee replacement or any other knee surgery, having had minor procedures performed by him in the past. A thank you to Jen also for her help and cheery phone calls. Thank you also to all staff at the Spire Hospital Manchester.

Once again thank you and if you need a Knee specialist, I would recommend Professor Jari for first class care and expertise.

My personal measure of achievement is that – within two or three weeks of the injection – I was again able to walk without a stick.

Richard Brimley

Following my first total knee replacement in 2019 by Professor Jari I was so impressed with the result that I had my other knee joint replaced early in 2020. The improvement in my gait is tremendous.
Just three months on from my last operation the positive effect is profound allowing me to walk pain-free and to practice yoga every day.

I have no hesitation in recommending Professor Jari to anyone who is needing a total knee replacement.

All the best

I am writing to thank you for the care I received for my knee with regard to my nSTRIDE injection. My final appointment with you was at the end of June 2019. It is now mid-November and I have returned to playing tennis socially, swimming and using the gym. I no longer hobble downstairs and find playing with my grandchildren much more comfortable.

I have the utmost trust in your knowledge and professionalism and would not hesitate to recommend your practice to anyone suffering with a similar condition.

Many thanks for your kind service and best regards,

Kathryn Sutherland

On May 28 I had knee arthroscopic surgery at the Alexander hospital in Cheadle, by Professor Jari. When I went for my appointment with him he explained everything to me and what to expect, I found him to be a caring, and understanding person,

And with my physiotherapy following the procedure, I can now do the things I enjoy.

I cannot thank Professor Jari. enough for what he has done. I have no hesitation in recommending Professor Jari. and the healthcare and physiotherapy team at Alexander Hospital.

to anyone who is experiencing problems with their knees and should I ever need knee surgery again he would be the consultant I would want to go to.

Wonderful to be playing golf again only four weeks after my arthroscopy. Almost back to normal having followed all the advice regarding physio, exercise, ice etc. I have complete confidence in Professor Jari and the team of professionals looking after me and know I can get support at any stage if I need it

I am extremely happy with my recent knee surgery (knee arthroscopy) by Professor Jari at the Alexander Hospital in Cheadle. I was in a lot of discomforts before my operation and amazed at the speed of my recovery. I am already back in the gym, under strict supervision, and enjoying my active life again.

I can’t thank you enough, my stay was such a positive experience, not a usual response to a hospital stay.
