Knees! :-) Thank you for the suggestions.

It might help if you said which bit of your anatomy you talking about it might also be useful if there was any set up to steer clear of

Not sure how far afield he works but Mr Ballister comes out at the top of the league tables in the North of England. He has dealt with both knees and feet in our family. There is a Mr Lipscombe who does upper body limbs.

I can only speak of hips.Adam Hoad-Reddick (Manchester)
revised a previous THR and it was so successful I was happy for him to replace the other hip.No problems whatsoever and he is a pleasure to deal with.
Good luck with your search.

You don’t just need a consultant name but someone who specialises in your particular problem. When I had my new knees I chose a surgeon who did nothing else - with great results.

Please could anyone message me if they can recommend an orthopaedic consultant in the North of England/North East of England. In particular for how easy/good they were to deal with and personality wise. Thank you.
