Mr Polyzois performed a left anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty with a short stem uncemented humeral component & polyethylene cemented component keyhole on 28 July 2016 at Ashford Hospital nr Staines-upon-Thames, Middlesex. Following my operation, I received regular physiotherapy at St Peter's Hospital, Chertsey Surrey to regain full movement & strength in the new joint. Unfortunately, during the operation I sustained damage to my radial nerve resulting in radial palsy of my left hand; damage to nerves is a rare but known risk & despite this, had immediate great treatment from Kemper Martin in the Hand Therapy Department at Ashford Hospital for a year. Have regained grip strength but still have some reduced dexterity due to osteoarthritis in my fingers. I had been in severe pain & impaired movement in my shoulder for several years & now have no pain & full movement & no more sleepless nights! I have been amazed at the successful outcome of this operation & would fully recommend Mr Ioannis Polyzois - he was attentive from the start of our doctor/patient relationship & I continue to see him on an annual basis.
