Wishing all our patients and teams a great 2021 full of happiness. Some positivity from 2020 was the return to operating, truly great outcomes and matching data to back it up. This shows the very low re-do rates for hip replacement at our Hospital. Thank you to a superb team.

Choosing where and whom to have your joint replacement with can be challenging without data. So here we go: a very low mortality within 3 months (in fact no deaths in 1009 knee replacements over 5 years), plus v low redo rates / last 5 years.

2021 - the year of positivity. The incredible team at Conformis produced a knee replacement like no other. It's redo rates for custom total replacements - that's including that patella (knee cap) are 4 x LESS than the rest of total knee replacements at 6 years. Wow.

So why is the Conformis iTotal so reliable? Knee replacements don't get revised in the first 10 years because of wear. They get redone due to loosening (this is either infection or poor cementing), infection, instability or unexplained pain. Infection should be equal across the

Delighted to celebrate the 600th Conformis knee replacement today with the team at Goring Hall Hospital. It's a long time since I saw it at a meeting in America and saw the benefits. I have learnt more about the design rationale over the years and it delivers what it promises.

Mixed success in knee replacement 10.5% of patients, 6 months after are "about the same" or "worse". This is mad for a major operation. Data Source: NHS England Digital published 13 Feb 2025 big sample size. This opens questions such as: What condition is knee replacement

At a recent talk a patient asked me - how do I chose my surgeon? The data is surprising well hidden. So here is mine: This is knee replacement gain at 6 months. The Orange live is average (50%!), below that is a below average gain. I am the red line which is in the top 17%.

Loving AAOS this year in San Diego. Great to connect, explore up to date knowledge and concepts, interact with experts and innovations. The team at restor3d (they bought Conformis) continue to blaze a trail in implants. #customknee #restor3d

Really impressed with our friends from Finland. Showcasing at AAOS, San Diego, the world's first standing CT. A 10-15 second scan, low dose to boot. 3 in the USA and 5 in Europe. Scandinavian teamwork at its very best. #AAOS #standingCT #worldfirst
