Explanation

I have been a patient of Mr Bird for some 8 years managing progressive osteoarthritis in both knees. Over that time, although there were periods when the pain wasn't too bad, the general trend was downwards and so I had a Total Knee Replacement (TKR) on my right knee in December 2022. I took the pre-hab and re-hab seriously and worked with a PT to get my mobility back after the operation. I'm delighted with the outcome and now can get back to doing most things in life that I enjoy. To be honest. most of the time I don't even remember having a replacement knee joint!
