Mr Sairam Alavala is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at HMT St Hugh’s Hospital in Grimsby. Alongside general orthopaedic work, he has a special interest in lower limb reconstruction, including hip and knee replacement and knee arthroscopy.

Hip and knee arthritis rarely announces itself. It arrives as a small adjustment, then another, until you have quietly stopped doing several things you used to do without thinking. The point of a consultation is to work out where you actually are, what is causing it, and whether an operation is the right answer yet. Often it is not, and often that is useful to know.
