I had a total hip

I had a total hip replacement at Fairfield General Hospital in May 2018 which failed less than two years later.
The pain that I was in at that time was excruciating.
At one stage I was on a mixture of Liquid Morphine & Tramadol to try to ease the pain.
After being referred to North Manchester Hospital I was then referred to Salford Royal under the care of Mr Kempanna.
After months of tests to rule out infection I had a revised complex total hip replacement in March 2022.
The operation was done by Mr Kempanna & Mr Gill & their team which took over eight hours because basically they had to reconstruct my hip.
I was in hospital for eight days so that they could monitor me carefully for any infection.
It has now been eleven months since my operation & I am doing great, I am finally off my crutches which I have been on for the past twenty months.
I still have a bit of rehabilitation to go but the outlook for me is good & I WILL get there.
I now look forward to getting back to work & a normal life.
The truth is Mr Kempanna, Mr Gill & their team & all of the staff at Salford Royal Hospital have given me my life back & I will be forever grateful.
I always felt confident that Mr Kempanna was taking a personal & genuine concern in my welfare & recovery & was doing everything he could to make that outcome as positive as possible.
I would like to thank Salford Royal Hospital for the amazing professional care I received throughout my personal trauma.
The staff in the Fracture Clinic were always helpful & efficient, my many appointments there were never delayed.
In my eight day stay at the hospital the food was great & the ward was spotless.
I cannot praise Salford Royal Hospital enough & I will be forever grateful for the amazing professional care that I received.

They have restored my faith in The National Health Service.

Martin.
