The A-Z companion guide to orthopaedic surgery: An essential reference book to support those undergoing the inconvenience and frustrations of their orthopaedic surgery
Description
As we get older, the likelihood of orthopaedic surgery increases and the NHS is overwhelmed with outstanding hip and knee operations, designed to enable us to age gracefully and pain-free. I am extremely grateful to our NHS for their help with my operation and the experience has inspired me to write this companion guide for those who may also be feeling unsettled and very apprehensive concerning the road that lies ahead. Not only does the guide address the practical questions, it also raises awareness concerning unforeseen obstacles to your recovery that you may not have previously considered. Suggestions are included to provide you (or a loved one) with the very best opportunity to achieve a swift and comfortable return to normal life and this guide will become an invaluable point of reference for you, throughout your journey.

Invaluable read for those facing orthopaedic surgery
I purchased this book for my husband to read in preparation for his forthcoming surgery. We both read it and found it an invaluable read. Great that it was in pocket form and short chapters, which were light and easy to read .Very informative and well written and also helped to alleviate fears and gave reassurance and confidence about expectations before and after the operation. Although a serious subject matter the author was able to have a sense of humour throughout his experience which also made for a humorous read. To summarise we felt this book provided a practical and useful collection of solutions to real life problems after orthopaedic surgery and an inspiring read. Would highly recommend to anyone awaiting this type of surgery.

Informative, humorous and very useful guide
A really useful guide that you can delve into for the preparation and recovery of your operation. I found it certainly addresses some of the more unforeseen obstacles in a very constructive and helpful manner. It’s written in an “easy to refer to” format, and is crammed full of useful tips and suggestions. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this book.

An invaluable self-help Manual
A pocket size book that supports you through the whole stressful orthopaedic surgery journey from beginning to end. Each chapter deals sensitively and humorously with the questions that you need answers to. Highly recommended and very much hope there is there a next instalment that provides further insight into life after surgery.

Thoughtful and insightful
I was after a book that explained the reality of the situation I was going through but also helped put me at ease. Maslin’s book does both sharing a personal view of his own experiences and a comforting hug telling me everything will be okay. Valuable reading for those going through operations but also for those supporting loved ones.
