Thumb Joint replacement

Over the last several years, I have suffered with arthritis of my left thumb which gradually got worse leading to discomfort and an inconvenience with my work as an engineer and with everyday duties. I had a childhood injury with a glass window where I cut through the tendons for my left thumb when I was 14 years old and have struggled with movement ever since. I had several cortisone injections over the last four years to ease the pain, but this eventually got to the point where I struggled to pinch my thumb and finger together and developed an odd lump in my wrist. I was referred to Mr. Naqui, who had many recommendations. From the outset, Mr. Naqui and Ms. Clark was incredibly helpful and accommodating. The surgery itself went very smoothly. Mr. Naqui and the team at The Alexandra were fantastic and quickly eased my apprehension. After the procedure I experienced no pain and minimal discomfort. I was amazed when I stopped taking the pain killers 3 days after surgery, especially after hearing the horror stories from work collogues who had the same condition but had the bone removed with months of pain. I had the operation in April , 2023, and now 12 months on I still cannot believe the results. The surgery was a real life-changing experience for me. It gave me back the movement and flexibility I was lacking, I have more movement now than I have had for the last 20 years. I can’t thank Mr. Naqui and his team enough. I would totally recommend his services and have complete trust in his skill and expertise.
