I first met Henry after hurting my ankle in a football game. He was quick to diagnose my injury and sent me for scans to make sure I didn't need any surgical intervention (Thankfully I didn't!). It was at this visit however that Henry noticed an issue with my ACL that I had previous ruptured and discovered I had re-reputured it - quite a devastating prognosis for someone who is a keen sportsmen. Having already had a hamstring graft and as a sufferer of patellar tendonitis, Henry was extremely supportive in helping me to get approval for an allograft, in the hope it would help me get back to football after rehab. During the operation, It was also discovered I had damaged my cartilage, so Henry tried micro-fracturing as a means to help protect my knee as time goes on. Throughout my recovery, Henry made sure I had access to great physios and after 18 months of rehab, my knee finally started to show positive signs from the Micro-fracturing and the ACL graft has served it's purpose of stabilising the knee. It certainly won't ever be what it was, but to kick a ball again after a long time out was a fantastic feeling and i fully appreciate Henry's help and support in making that happen. He is a gentleman and someone who really cares about his patients - so I couldn't recommend him highly enough for your ankle and knee problems! Sam
