OPERATIONS

Hi

Im going to have my knee replaced in the next few months but that will be after I get my ankle fixed, the right one is very sore. Ive been waiting to be seen by the doctor for months now. Has anyone else waiting on getting any surgerys in the next while ? Id like to talk about peoples differnt experinces in hopstial and what they genrally think of the way they were treated while in.

Hiya Naomi

Good Luck with your your knee replacement & ankle operation

I'm having my 3rd wrist operation since: 13-10-2002 on my left hand/wrist,

I was due to have a limited &/Or full wrist fusion wrist operation in 2005, but one appointment for my operation was cancelled & transfered to later in 2005 & the second one was cancelled to complactions with my left hand/wrist with RSD/CRPS & skin infections, so sought a second opinion/view in October 2005 & it as agreed a limited wrist fusion was correct thing to do.

But due to the complactions with my left hand/wrist with RSD/CRPS & skin infections, & my surgeon not being around the wrist operation kept being moved to & from one NHS hospital to another NHS hospital.

I am now due to try a less invasive wrist operation on my left hand/wrist on: 15-05-2008, due to the effects of the RSD/CRPS which was triggered by the MCI/PMCI,

this wrist operation is known as: Arthroscopic thermal capsulorrhaphy for palmar midcarpal instability/Thermal Capsulorrhaphy for Midcarpal Instability,

& it's only been carried out in the Uk on around 20 - 40 patients since 2004 - 2007,

& my NHS Hospital & Consultant Orthopaedic & Trauma Upper-Limb & Hand Surgeon have never carried this out before & no one really knows the long term results & outcome of the studies.

Good Luck with your your knee replacement & ankle operation

Julie's having the same wrist operation known as: Arthroscopic thermal capsulorrhaphy for palmar midcarpal instability/Thermal Capsulorrhaphy for Midcarpal Instability,

tomorrow, as fair as I can remember
