Outcomes

Hip replacements

The National Joint registry of England, Wales, Northern Island and the Isle of Man demonstrates Professor Davis’ exceptional outcomes which are some of the best in the country. His revision rate for hip replacements is only 0.48% compared to the national average of 1.6%.

For the ten-year period March 2011-March 2021 the NJR recorded that he performed 2285 primary hip replacements with only 11 revisions. The average number of revisions for other surgeons in that period was 37.04. This is despite a very complicated case mix, included high risk complex referrals from consultant colleagues.

The NJR patient reported outcome results (March 2009-Dec 2020) demonstrate that Professor Davis’ patients are significantly more satisfied with the outcome of their hip replacement than the national average performed by other surgeons. His patients also describe their hip replacement to be significantly more successful than the national average.

Knee replacements

The National Joint registry of England, Wales, Northern Island and the Isle of Man demonstrates Professor Davis’ exceptional outcomes which are some of the best in the country. His revision rate for knee replacements is only 0.82% compared to the national average of 2%.

For the ten-year period March 2011-March 2021 the NJR recorded that he performed 734 primary hip replacements with only 6 revisions. The average number of revisions in that period was 14.67. This is despite a very complicated case mix, included high risk complex referrals from consultant colleagues. His interest in computer navigation and robotic assisted surgery, means that he is often referred patients with such complicated problems that conventional surgery is not possible. Despite this, his outcomes remain excellent.

The NJR patient reported outcome results (March 2009-Dec 2020) demonstrate that patients are significantly more satisfied with the outcome of their knee replacement than the national average. Patients also describe their knee replacement to be significantly more successful than the national average.
