Consultant orthopaedic hip surgeon, Mr Jason Webb

Hip surgery changed my life. Before my first hip operation I was in constant pain and couldn’t walk more than 250 metres without sticks. I had less than 8 per cent rotation in the joint. Since having both joints replaced, I have climbed my hardest rock climb, ascended some of the most famous north faces in the Alps and pulled sleds up mountains in Alaska. I have skied toured the famous Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt and descended numerous steep off piste couloirs. I run cross country and mountain bike. I am lucky enough to never get any pain from my new hips – indeed I forget they are there. I hang upside down from my heels on overhanging rock climbs and jump onto crash mats from the top of our local climbing wall. My message to anyone suffering from osteoarthritis is that if the pain starts interfering with your life and making you miserable, then don’t be afraid to have surgery. As long as you put the effort into the rehab, you can get brilliant results. Many thanks to you and your team for their fantastic work.

Thanks for taking on mum and all that you did. I know it’s all routine for you but we are in your debt for helping her. You are a genuinely incredible doctor Jason and we are very grateful.

Thank you very much for performing my total hip replacement. Your skill and attention to detail were outstanding. Your patience in answering my questions was appreciated and your care and consideration were considerable. I felt grateful to have been treated by you.
