Just over a year ago I fell off the top of a ladder both shattering and dislocated my left elbow as a result. My radial head was in four bits and my arm could not be stabilised because the joint just wasn’t able to hold fast. Fortunately I was informed the best elbow surgeon in the country was going to operate on me....that’ll be Mr Phadnis then. He was an absolute marvel from the start. He did two operations in total. One to put a complex metal fixer in ( I was one of the first in the country to have it used on them apparently!). The next operation once the fixer had done it’s job was to take it out and establish what needed to be done. He told me he and his team would be ready to do whatever needed to be done after the fixer had been removed, including bone grafts or elbow replacement...they were prepared for it all. Fortunately the fixer worked well and I just needed some ligament grafts to help stabilise the elbow. Throughout this time Mr Phadnis was the consummate professional and I would echo what others have said re him being attentive, caring and thoroughly knowledgeable about his profession. My elbow will never fully be the same and I will always have some restrictions of movement, but all in all a very functional arm. After recently being discharged from his care he told me if I had any problems I should email him and he will see me again....I can’t tell you how important that was to me to know that. Thanks Mr Phadnis for being at the top of your game. Thanks to all your colleagues who all treated me so well. I will forever be in your debt.
