A second opinion is a structured, sub-specialist review of your knee: your history, your imaging and your goals, with a clear explanation of what is happening and the options. It helps people who are unsure about recommended surgery, unhappy after an operation, or have been told to wait, that they are "too heavy", or that nothing more can be done. There is no obligation to proceed.
Who a second opinion helps
A second opinion helps if you are unsure about surgery you have been recommended, unhappy after a knee operation, or have been told to wait, that you are "too heavy", or that nothing more can be done.
Wanting to be sure before committing to surgery is a good reason on its own.
What a second opinion involves
Dr Yas reviews your history and imaging, examines your knee, and explains what he thinks is happening and the options — clearly and without pressure. You leave with a better understanding, whether or not you choose to proceed.
Why a fresh, sub-specialist look can help
Knees are individual, and a focused, sub-specialist assessment sometimes identifies options that a more general review may not — including joint-preserving approaches or targeted fixes. This is about a careful second look, not a promise.
What to bring
Bringing your recent imaging (X-rays or scans) and any operation records helps Dr Yas give you the most useful assessment. The rooms can guide you on what to gather.

Explore the four pillars
Want surgery designed for your anatomy, not the average?
Joint-preserving partial replacement where suitable, personalised total replacement with kinematic alignment and robotic precision, and direct anterior hip surgery — matched to your joint, not a standard mould.
Had a replacement that still doesn’t feel right?
When a replacement hasn’t worked out there is often a specific reason — and a specific solution. An independent review: examination, imaging reviewed, and a written summary of your options.
Been told you’re too young, too heavy, or to just wait?
Dr Yas reviews each patient case by case and recommends the operation that fits the joint — not the other way around. Higher-BMI patients considered on their individual merits, not declined on weight alone.
Been told nothing more can be done?
Specialist revision hip & knee surgery, partial-to-total conversion with modern bone-preserving technique, and complex reconstruction after trauma — including limb-preserving surgery — considered case-by-case.
