I had Mr Ullah perform a Carpometacarpal replacement, left thumb joint titanium implant.

I was suffering from arthritis in the joint and even though this sounds like a minor issue it was having an adverse affect on my life, I was struggling to put weight on it, so Yoga and Weights at the gym were getting difficult to manage, painkillers didn’t seem to work at all, and I had Steroid injections into the joint which gave a little short term relief ( maybe 3 weeks respite ). Simple tasks like wringing out a cloth to clean my house were impossible, I couldn’t undo jars, had no strength in that hand and it ached almost constantly, affecting my sleep. Sounds melodramatic I know but it really got me down.

The surgery was quick, and I only had pain for a day or two afterwards which was manageable.

Recovery took a few weeks, and I had to avoid weights at the gym for 6 weeks, but I’m so happy with the results, I got my mobility in the joint back super quickly, had to remind myself to go easy so as not to undo Mr Ullah’s hard work.

I’m now about a year post op and can honestly say it feels as good as new, I can do everything I could do before the arthritis kicked in, I have no pain or issues with it at all, I’m so happy I had the surgery.

Mr Ullah knows his stuff and is very reassuring, I’m told it could last up to 10 years before needed any further treatment.

I’m more than happy to answer any questions anyone may have if they are thinking of having the surgery, regarding the process/recovery

Kindest regards

I write to provide feedback following my surgery to rectify my thumb which I described as “collapsed” (I am not a medical practitioner).

Prior to consulting with you, I was unable to use my right hand to hold objects, open jars etc.
I had a consultation with you at Spire Hospital, Oadby, Leicestershire. You explained the procedure, and informed me of recovery times, following X-rays.
On the 12th February 2024, you carried out surgery on my right thumb (in your letter to my GP, you explained, it was CMC joint replacement).

You had already explained that the type of operation was in surgical terms “relatively new”.

I made a full and complete recovery after approximately 3 months. I saw you at 3,6 & 12 months post operation for assessment.

I would like to thank you for your medical expertise, and support throughout the process.

If I knew anybody who was inflicted with such a condition, I would not hesitate to recommend arranging an appointment with you.

Kindest regards

In early June 2023 I had an operation on my right hand 🫱 (thumb).  This was a new procedure where as I had an implant inserted into the bone . Quite ground breaking considering how painless it was the results were within a day I had movement, within a week I could clench a fist pain free . Now as a result I have more flexibility and pain free for the first time since I can remember. The one thing I had to remember was to walk before I could run as it’s easy to think you can do more than you should but Dr Ullah made sure through my physiotherapist I understood what I should and shouldn’t be doing he was there every step of the way . I am 12 weeks post opp now and have a new lease of life I would recommend this operation to anyone who has had to endured the pain and embarrassment of having to rely on others to do simple everyday task I can now do myself. I am back at work and able to complete my normal duties again . Thank you Dr Ullah for giving me my new bionic thumb Mrs V M

MR Ullah The consultant was great explained things very well and easy for me to understand .I didn’t wait long for my surgery and I felt very comfortable and in safe hands . I would definitely recommend MR Ullah and I wouldn’t hesitate in seeing him again in the future if needed. Thank you

Mr Ullah is a very nice consultant make you feel at ease and listens to you i would recommend him to anyone who needs hand surgery.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you sincerely for the exceptional treatment that I received from yourself and the team at the Spire Hospital in Leicester.  The whole experience was extremely positive

Mr Ullah discuss options for my painful thumb, this was all very prompt and informative.

After some relief with injections , I opted for surgery. The whole experience was enjoyable and staff were very friendly

I am now pain free

I would just like to add that your reputation is that of a very high standard with excellent results, how true that is!

Many thanks once again.

Yours sincerely,

I had a flexor tendon repair on my dominant hand under the kind care of Mr Ullah. I cannot express my gratitude enough for the skilful and empathetic way in which I was cared for. Being a surgeon myself, I did my research to ensure I was seeing the best hand surgeon in the region. The pre-op assessment left me feeling very well informed regarding the procedure and aftercare. Mr Ullah also made excellent an recommendation for a superb hand therapist to work with post-operatively. Regular post-op reviews during my recovery were never an inconvenience to him and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of my treatment. I genuinely believe Mr Ullah’s surgical talent has been pivotal to my progress and I have no hesitation in recommending him to any other patients seeking private hand surgery.

Mr Ullah carried out my Tenolysis surgery. I had to achieve the best possible result in order to return to my job which relies heavily on detailed work with my hands. Mr Ullah has a very calm, friendly and reassuring bedside manner. He was always prompt with communication via his secretary and I knew after meeting him and realising his vast experience in hand surgery that he was the surgeon I wanted to operate on me. My results have been incredible, and I am now able to return to work as planned. Thank you so much Mr Ullah for helping me and being so understanding during one of the most challenging times of my life – you were brilliant!

In the past year Mr Ullah has treated me for trigger thumb on both hands (requiring surgery on the left one) and has performed a carpal tunnel release op on my left hand. Both surgical procedures have made an enormous difference and relieved all of my symptoms. I cannot recommend Mr Ullah highly enough for his professionalism and care, and he would be my consultant surgeon of choice should I need surgery on my right thumb in future.
