Mr Zameer Shah 2018-01-19 Person 5 5 0

I was fortunate enough to find Mr Shah on duty at St Thomas' Hospital A& E when I arrived there, having fractured the neck of my left hip (after flipping into the air while push-scootering) en route to see the local osteopath, ironically, about my right hip. Mr Shah diagnosed that the fracture had shifted so far, it could not be repaired but required imediate Total Hip Replacement surgery. 21 months later and I am 6 weeks-on from the replacement of the other hip that I had originally hoped the osteopath could fix, but which Mr Shah had confirmed had such extensive damage that it couldn't be 'patched up'. This time around, as an elective patient, recovery has been even quicker; I was fully off-crutches, back at the gym, and cycling within about three weeks. The pre-op preparation at Guys Hospital was very efficient and thorough, and post-op, a well-stitched up/quick-healing wound, and physio session helped greatly. Today I saw Mr Shah for my 6-week follow up; we viewed x-rays, and had a good and useful discussion. Mr Shah even advised me on an issue I have with previous unicondylar knee-op, offering to fix it if/when necessary. For me, as a keen sportsperson, Mr Zameer Shah will be my go-to hip/knee 'Mr Fixit', I hope, for as long as I need him! Hip-Hip!
