    Still looking for good orthopaedic surgeon for knee replacement? Philip Brady at Blackrock clinic, Gary O’Toole at st Vincent’s hosp and paul Curtin at st Vincent’s and cappagh have all been recommended. Can anyone tell me who of them is best or has best record?

    Dennis Collins in the Sports Clinic is excellent. The after care is as important as the procedure so unless you follow the advice, no surgery will be perfect.

    I know several people who have had knees done by him and all are perfect, but they would have worked hard at physio and exercise afterwards.

    I've had a knee arthroscopy (small procedure comparatively) at the SSC, with Gavin McHugh. Good results.

    I hope it's not a stupid question but I presume you can get a knee replacement at any age. My Dad who is mid 70s has terrible pain in one of his knees that he's not as mobile as he once was. I have advised him to look into a knee replacement.
