Orthopaedicinnovation Reviews 

The kley rapid hip replacement is a world class procedure. I underwent a bilateral hip replacement on July 3 2026. At 6 weeks I have regained my life. Driving, walking the dog, doing housework and gardening. All activities I found difficult to do pre operstively now so easy. Its a fantastic outcome in such a short time. I would highly recommend this approach to anyone who needs a hip replaced

Very satisfied with a brilliant result of bilateral knee replacements, five weeks apart, 16 and 11 weeks ago. I’ve just come in from two hours of gardening, slowly a steadily does it. I’ve had full unaided mobility from within the first week of each operation.

As a retired GP and part-time hospital specialist now in my 80th year, I had found my mobility rapidly decreasing. I had heard awful stories of pain and stiffness, infection and on going complications with knee replacements. I spent much of last year exploring choices and had several assessments. This became complicated by finding I had full thickness cardiac scarring probably from Covid. After reviewing several leads, I contacted Orthopaedic Innovation. Professor Wilson contacted me from Crete. We had a long unhurried discussion; the cardiac situation stabilised. Following a full examination by Professor Wilson, I was contacted by the surgeon doing the knee replacement, Kristian Kley, we discussed his results from knee replacements, which were impressive and I was surprised these totalled well into five figures. Having met various other staff, I heard of bloodless operating fields, skilled rapid surgery (essential to decrease the risk of infection and the overall shock to the body and brain) as well as no cutting of tendons, ligaments or muscle. My further research confirmed the Columbus prosthesis appears to be the best to date.
I was listed for surgery in January, a consultation with Kristian a few days before and then the morning of the operation was very reassuring. What seemed like a little more than an hour after going into the OR, I was getting out of bed using two elbow crutches and mobile!
There is no doubt that this is one of the most painful orthopaedic operations post-operatively. Fortunately this is high in consideration, the team’s anaesthetist had blocked the regional pain nerves which lasted about 24 hours giving a recovery and mobility widow by which time a pain assessment had been made resulting in the appropriate opiate pain relief. I opted for five days at the Claverdale Rehabilitation Centre, a very wise investment to maintain and augment the range of movement. The nursing and physiotherapy support was excellent.
At the first month’s post operative assessment by Prof. Wilson my second TKR was confirmed for the week after. The effect was interesting physiologically as the knees soon seemed to be in near in harmony. Satisfactory progress continues friends and some relatives have asked support for their knee replacent .
The Wilson and Kley team have given me outstanding service and confidence.
It is a lot to cope with, having given myself the first six months of 2026 “ hors de combat”, I am independently mobile, occasionally in London I use one elbow crutch, more as a flag to others in a hurry. I’m doing 1 to 2 mile country walks around the spring time fields and driving without any difficult or pain. My range of movement in both knees is 0-130 degrees. I can stand on each leg unaided for 1minute.
An excellent result, a big thank you to both Prof Wilson and Dr Kley. Also a big thank you to the rest of the team and admin, Vlad, Petra and Marco.
