Knee replacement
helps David achieve
his objectives

A PRESENTATION BY THE FORTIUS CLINIC

65-year-old David, who
lives in Southgate, North
London, had had pain in
both his knees for around
five years and it got to the
point when it was
becoming uncomfortable
to walk upstairs. It was
also affecting all the
activities he liked to do
such as walking, running
and skiing.

He said: "When I first started
getting pain, I took up tennis and
slightly foolishly played on hard
courts that I noticed affected my
knees significantly.
He told me I had degenerative
arthritis and suggested I didn't do
anything about it at that time but to
monitor it.
His wife recommended that David
make an appointment to see
Fortius Consultant Knee Surgeon
Mr David Houlihan-Burne.
David had a consultation with Mr
Houlihan-Burne and an MRI scan at
Fortius Clinic Marylebone.
Having seen the scan results, Mr
Houlihan-Burne advised David to
have a partial knee replacement on
both knees at the same time

David's surgeon Mr
Houlihan-Burne
reassured him that he
could do both operations
at the same time. David's
operation took place at
the Fortius knee
specialist Centre in
Bristol.

He walked on both crutches for only
two days after the operation. David
stayed in hospital for two nights and

used an ice machine to help his
recovery. After the operation he had

physiotherapy for four months.

Former England rugby star
Paul Gascoigne says he is
back to playing 18 holes of
golf and walking 10 miles a
day after having surgery on
his injured knees.
