I was requiring a total knee replacement for my right knee which following x-rays was found to be 9 degrees out of alignment. My wife recommended Mr Lusty to me when I was looking for an Orthopaedic Surgeon as she had worked at Southend Hospital and knew of his reputation as one of the top surgeons there. After my first consultation with Mr Lusty I knew that I had made the right decision with my choice of surgeon. He was knowledgeable, confident in his ability and immediately put me at ease. He listened to my explanation of the problem with my knee as I saw it and explained carefully the options open to me. On making the decision to go ahead with the surgery I was amazed that a date was set only a week after the first practical date that was possible for me and that date never changed. The operation and my short stay in hospital proceeded without a hitch. I was well looked after throughout and my recovery since has been unbelievable. I barely used the crutches supplied, going straight to two walking sticks, then one and then none in pretty short order. Several visits to physiotherapy sped my recovery further and I played my first 18 holes of golf just six weeks and four days after the operation. The new knee is fantastic and has never given me any cause for concern. Whenever in and around the hospital talking to patients, ex patients or staff, if you say that your surgeon was Mr Lusty, the usual reply is "Oh, he's the best." I couldn't agree more.
