I have suffered with shoulder pain for numerous years. My hobby is fishing, when casting out I heard a massive crack from my shoulder, I could not take the weight of my arm, at this point I arranged to see my GP who referred me to Mr Polyzois . I was given a MRI scan which showed a massive tear in my tendon, I am a retired builder/developer, this was caused by hard work over the years. After consultation with Mr I Polyzois, he suggested “Superior Capsular Reconstruction Surgery”, this is where a donor tendon is attached via keyhole surgery over the hole in my tendon. Mr Polyzois explained what to expect, he has an excellent manner/professional/ a good listener and very caring, he gave me real confidence in his ability. He did advise there would be a lengthy recover period, with regular physiotherapy. I have to say I am in considerable pain after the surgery, (3 months now) which I understand is to be expected, due to the complexity of this pioneering surgery. However working with the physiotherapist have gained a lot more movement in my arm and shoulder. I am really grateful that Mr Polyzois considered me for the procedure. I feel confident it can only improve. I do feel Mr Polyzois has done his absolute best to achieve good results and feel he has all the attributes for an excellent consultant/surgeon. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to Mr Polyzois for all your care and attention.
