Andrew Barnett Knee Clinic

My son was recently referred to Mr Barnett following severe knee pain when undertaking sport - Mr Barnett has been fantastic with him, his kind caring manner made my son feel relaxed and involved in the discussions, his advice was sensible for a 12yr old sport loving boy and I would not hesitate in recommending him to anyone.

After having an injury to a radial meniscus tear and extreme discomfort for 3-4 weeks I organised consultation to Mr Andrew Barnett. He explained the problem and given my age we agree that pain management could be a short term relief however he details what surgery would be appropriate, which I chose. His team was extremely helpful, professional and empathetic to my condition and managed to get me booked in within 3 weeks. My surgery was well organised, totally professional and the staff in all areas were outstanding (at Oswestry Orthopaedic Hospital, Ludlow Ward). I strongly recommend Mr Barnett and he was totally professional, friendly and approachable. With thanks and appreciation to an excellent team of caring people.

I would highly recommend Mr Barnett and his Knee Clinic services. I was referred to Mr Barnett as part of the fracture clinic service following a repeat dislocation of my knee. I have suffered from regular knee issues since a traumatic knee dislocation just over 10 years ago. Every time I have had an issue in the past, I was advised that there was not much that could be done other than to strengthen the muscles in the leg but I was left with instability and the likelihood that my knee would dislocate again at any time. Mr Barnett agreed to look into my knee issue and following an MRI he diagnosed that my medial patellofemoral ligament had snapped due to the traumatic dislocation 10 years ago. This was the reason why my knee joint was unstable. He suggested that surgery was possible to rebuild the ligament to return stability to the joint and talked me through all the possible options and outcomes. This was all during the Covid pandemic where Mr Barnett held in person and over the phone consultations explaining the options. I had my ligament reconstruction surgery in November 2020 and the results have been brilliant. I was back on my feet the same day and did not need crutches. Within a few weeks I was back at work and working with a physiotherapist to rebuild my range of movement and muscle strength with minimal discomfort. Everything healed up really well and now 6 months on I can say my knee feels brilliant. It is stable and I am able to live my life without any knee supports. There is no feeling of instability which I used to get constantly before the operation. I would highly recommend Mr Barnett to anyone who is suffering with knee problems as he was able to diagnose the problem and perform surgery which has significantly improved my quality of life.

I had a fall in January of this year and broke my Patella. I had an operation at my local hospital to repair my knee which was successful. Unfortunately after several weeks I had a build up of scar tissue, I couldn't bend my knee and was in constant pain in spite of physio and exercises. I went to see Mr Barnett privately for a second opinion and he recommended another operation to break the scar tissue and remove. This was on a Monday, by Friday of the same week I had had the operation and was on a CPM machine. I can now bend my knee past 100 degrees, I've seen Mr Barnett twice since my operation, his whole manner was positive, kind and helpful. I do not recommend you fall and break your knee but if you do I thoroughly recommend you make an appointment to see Mr Barnett. I cannot thank him enough for looking after me and the confidence he has given me. Along with physio I now feel I can look forward to a full recovery. Lesley Jane Whitehead

Mr Barnett has helped me on a couple of occasions now, most recently with an ACL reconstruction after a windsurfing injury. My priority has been to get back to windsurfing, snowboarding and mountain biking at the level I was before the injury and I have felt throughout that Mr Barnett has completely understood my objectives and given guidance and decisions that are relevant to them. He has been very considered in his approach and is friendly and easy to speak to with regard questions, concerns and ideas. He also has a very good understanding of the required outcomes for various sports. He has performed two surgeries on me now and both times I have felt very confident in his abilities to get the best result from the procedure. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Mr Barnett, not just for his well renowned surgical skills, but also for his ability to put you at ease with his considered approach and friendly, open and honest communication.
