Patient Testimonial: Michael, 62, Gibraltar
Bilateral Oxford Partial Knee Replacement
“All my life I’ve been active. I played football, squash, paddle, hockey, and was a sprinter. As a firefighter and underwater rescue instructor, I pushed my body hard for decades. But eventually, the inner sides of both knees started giving me real trouble. They’d swell up, I couldn’t bend properly, and even sleep became difficult. I managed the pain for a while with modified workouts, injections, and special gels, but the scans were clear. It was bone-on-bone arthritis, and surgery was the only real solution.”
“I was referred for a bilateral Oxford Partial Knee Replacement with Dr. Thomas Boerger. From start to finish, the care was exceptional. Everything was clearly explained and carefully assessed. The operation was done in one go, and I started moving with crutches on day one. I followed Dr. Boerger’s advice exactly with regards to the rehabilitation exercises, not doing more, or doing less, and the recovery was smoother than I imagined.”
“Now, I feel like I’ve been given my life back. I can crouch, squat, jump, dance, swim, and run after my grandchildren. I go to dance classes, walk daily, and can even touch my heel to my glute. My knees feel strong, stable, and natural. I honestly forget anything was ever done to them. The freedom I have now, the lack of pain, the ability to move with confidence, well that’s what quality of life means to me.”
“I’m incredibly grateful to Dr. Boerger and his team. If you’re considering this operation, don’t hesitate. Trust the process, do the rehab, and you’ll be amazed at what’s possible.”
