“I was walking normally and back at work just two weeks after my bilateral hip replacements.”
"3 years before my hip replacement, I asked if I would be able to run again after the operation. Mr Apthorp told me, people can run marathons with his hip replacement techniques. Six months after my surgery, I completed the Paddock Wood half marathon, covering 21.1kms; I was only 3 minutes slower than my pre-surgery record! Having my hip replaced by Mr Apthorp changed my life and gave me my freedom back again."
“Mr Apthorp replaced my left hip in 2011 and I have been able to successfully continue with practicing competitive sport throughout the past decade without concern. I am delighted that Mr Apthorp has now agreed to replace my right hip. He is a brilliant hip surgeon – meticulous and with an excellent bedside manner.”
“Mr Apthorp was not only an excellent surgeon but the pre-op advice was consistent, thoughtful, personal to my situation and above all the correct advice. I am so glad I listened and took heed. Post and pre-operation have all gone to plan and I cannot thank him enough.”
“Extraordinary. He gave me absolute clarity and confidence from the start. I found the whole experience fascinating and actually enjoyable from beginning to end. My recovery has been very fast.”
“Mr Apthorp was always very assured, calm, and able to readily explain all aspects. He answered all my questions clearly, and in a manner that could be understood. He instilled great confidence at a time of personal vulnerability.”
“The results of my surgery with Mr Apthorp exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend him to anyone for minimally invasive hip surgery. I can't believe my scar is only 8cm long, and has healed perfectly within 8 weeks.”
“The experience of getting a new hip exceeded all my expectations, in particular, the speed of recovery. I was able to walk immediately, and no longer had to think about the new hip at six weeks.”
