Specialist Care for Sports Related Knee Injuries
Mr. Mohammad Maqsood, who runs the specialist knee and sport injury clinic at The Lincoln Hospital and John Copeland hospital Gainsborough, Maqsood said: “Many of these improved and modified new ways of treating knee complaints have improved the care that can be provided for patients, speeded up recovery times and used advanced new technologies.
Dear Mr Maqsood, I had my final consultation with one of your collegues last week. I would just like to say a big thank you for doing my knee operation in February 2011. I am now about 90% fitter, have lost 3 stone in weight and am now cycling 150 miles a week all thanks to you.
Some of these techniques are very advanced. This clinic has significantly helped the patients of South Lincolnshire. We keep a close eye on all of our patients. The patients are requested to fill in satisfaction and outcome questionnaires on a regular basis to make sure that they are happy. We have learnt a lot from these feedback questionnaires. It greatly helps in developing our service to meet the patients demand.
