Dupuytren's Contracture Treatment Australasia

Dr Hunt was so encouraging and he respected me. The clinic was really clean and I did not have to wait long.

After months of pain in my right hip but not ready to take the next step, I contacted Daniel Fick’s rooms. The first positive experience was that Dan’s team organized all my scans that had to be done before the initial appointment. All I had to do was show up on time for these appointments. At my first meeting, Dan was taken aback at the sight of my hip. From the scans, he confirmed the pain that I was in and explained what my options were, and showed me the ‘dual mobility implant'. This option offered me a fast recovery without restrictions. The operation could be done in 2 months' time which suited my work arrangements. As part of the process, I met with Dr. Granger who performed all the pre-operative tests (heart, blood, etc.) and he answered all my questions, as well as reassured me in an extremely pleasant way. The Anesthetist called before the operation and reassured me that he would be taking care of me and made sure he was aware of my wishes. The operation was on 2 November 2021 and I was home 3 days later. Whilst in hospital, I used a walker for about 10 minutes, then swapped to double crutches for 30 minutes, once I felt comfortable, I was using a single crutch as a walking aid. Within two weeks, the crutches were standing in the corner and not used. Penny, the nurse on Dan’s team was in regular contact and even sent a photo of my ‘old hip’ bones which was a nice touch. She took off the dressing after 2 weeks and was impressed with the way the wound had healed up. I liked the daily positive SMS messages that I received. These really got me moving and exercising, particularly on days when I thought I would take it easy. A follow-up meeting with Dan confirmed that everything was going very well. The daunting process of a total hip replacement was made very smooth and easy by Dan and his amazing team. Everybody was extremely professional and caring. I would highly recommend Daniel Fick and his professional team!
