MAKO Robotic Arm Assisted Surgery

MAKO Robotic Arm Assisted Surgery

Mr Pavlou is the first surgeon on the South Coast to perform robotic arm assisted partial and total knee replacement, making use of a MAKO robotic arm.

​The robotic system allows for more accurate placement of your implants compared to traditional methods and should lead to a faster recovery and a more natural feeling knee post knee replacement.

Shockwave Therapy

Paul is the secretary of the British Shockwave Association and has years of experience with Shockwave Therapy.

Shockwave Therapy uses high pressured acoustic shockwaves that travel through the skin to stimulate pain relief and tissue repair.

Why go Private?

In recent years the National Health Service has become more stretched and is under increasing pressure, which is why private hospitals are meeting higher standards than NHS hospitals

What previous patients have said…

Mr J.O

Total Knee Replacement

You carried out the above operation for me and at the time I was very worried as to whether I would be able to go on a three times cancelled walking holiday in Slovenia last May. In my last consultation with you, you gave me three exercises which I did religiously every day until the holiday and I still do them quite frequently. I am very please to say that the new knee was really good and stood up to everything very well, especially as the walking was some of the most taxing I have ever done.

It was important for me to let you know how pleased I am with outcome. Many thanks.

Mr J.O

Miss LC

Can I also just ask you to pass onto Mr Pavlou my sincerest thanks. This weekend I took part in a 10mile road race, the longest distance race I have run since last year and I was pain free during and after the event. I genuinely didn’t think I would be able to do this again so I am very grateful for the treatment.
