I had a total right knee replacement which was conducted by Mr Akrawi. I was impressed with his extensive briefing of what was involved, the risks and the benefits. The operation went off without a hitch: I chose not to be conscious while the operation was conducted but woke in time for the final closing. Mr Akrawi was able to demonstrate the degree of flexibility of the new knee joint minutes later: impressive! Recovery was complicated by the Covid-19 pandemic so there was no group physiotherapy and I had to make do with written instructions and whatever motivation I could muster. The period before I was fully mobile was therefore extended somewhat but I can now walk more than a mile and a half and climb stairs unaided. I have demonstrated remotely that I can straighten my leg completely and flex it more than 90 degrees. Mr Akrawi has seen photographic evidence of this and seems pleased with my efforts and his handiwork. I am extremely grateful for his skill and care.
