Asking on behalf of my father in law who had a knee replacement about 16 years ago and another about 2 years ago. It had to be a full 2nd replacement as the parts were no longer available for the 1st one. He suffers a lot of pain and discomfort that makes walking difficult.

He has suffered a number of problems with the second replacement and would like to seek a second opinion to guide him as to the best next steps - which may be "nothing", "more physio and focused exercises" or further surgery - I don't know.

Can anyone recommend a good specialist in London / Midlands / North of England that has good knowledge of arthroplasty?

Can you narrow those locations down a bit. I can recommend arthroplasty surgeons based usually on city, and of course do my own up here.

Nottingham / Leeds / York or across to Birmingham would all be possible; he can and is willing to travel.
