In early August 2018 I extensively damaged my knee in a skateboarding accident. damaging and/or detaching my ACL, PCL and LCL ligaments, as well as a Hamstring (PLC) injury and a Tibial Plateau fracture. Mr Akrawi was very open and honest with me from the word go about how extensive and serious my injury was and how long the likely recovery would be. He kept me informed throughout the process about what his recommendations were, and what he was planning to do to achieve the best outcome for me. He spent 11 hours operating on me repairing all of my various injuries in one go working late in to the evening / early hours of the morning. The aftercare I have received has been similarly brilliant with regular appointments and referrals to specialists outside of his area of expertise where necessary. I feel incredibly lucky to have had Mr Akrawi as my surgeon, I now have a very strong and stable knee and 6 months after injuring myself I am able to walk, run, jump and hop with confidence. On top of all of this, Mr A. has always been very friendly, warm and kind, which can be very comforting when facing such extensive surgery and recovery. To any prospective patients reading this my one piece of advice would be - Do Your Rehab! You're in safe hands with Mr. A, but you have to do your bit too! Simon.
