Knee Surgery with Mr Nikhil Pradhan & Patient Christine

Meet the Consultant: Life-Changing Knee Surgery with Mr Nikhil Pradhan

In the latest episode of Meet the Consultant at Spire Cheshire Hospital, we sit down with Mr Nikhil Pradhan, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, and one of his patients, Christine, who is celebrating remarkable progress just 12 weeks after undergoing bilateral knee replacement surgery.

Arthritis is one of the most common causes of joint pain as we get older.

While many of us are living longer and leading more active lives, our joints inevitably take on more wear and tear — often worsened by the pressures of modern living and the additional strain that carrying extra weight can bring.

Mr Pradhan talks us through how advances in orthopaedic surgery are transforming outcomes for patients.

From state-of-the-art technology to robotic-assisted procedures, surgeons at Spire Cheshire Hospital can now offer greater precision, faster recovery times and improved long-term results.

For Christine, the difference has been truly life-changing.

Initially refused surgery due to her weight, she embarked on a course of Mounjaro to help reach a healthier target.

After achieving her weight-loss goals, she was able to go ahead with surgery — replacing both knees at the same time.

Twelve weeks on, she shares her story of recovery and rehabilitation, explaining how the care, expertise and encouragement she received at Spire Cheshire have given her a new lease of life.

Whether you’re exploring treatment options for arthritis or simply interested in learning more about the latest surgical innovations, this episode is full of expert insight and real-life reassurance.
