My relationship with Dr Seeto has been a relatively long term one. Up front its useful to provide context that I have been a life long distance, adventure runner and also had a military career known to be hard on the body. For me, this seemed to result in damage to my knees - repetitive damage over 10-15 years.
So after an injury in 2012, Dr Seeto and I embarked on a long term relationship. Over the next three years I had a number of arthroscopes and eventually two High Tibial Osteotomy. While I wouldn't say the HTO was fun in any way, the aim was to allow a return to high activity levels while extending the life of the joints for a decade or so. Well, it worked. While a return to pre surgery activity levels took a couple of years - over the course of the next 8 years or so I ran marathons, ultra marathons and continued my active military career.
Sadly around 2024, the remainder of both knee joints decided they'd had enough (precipitated one one side by a broken foot and an ultra marathon). So in 2024, we removed the HTO hardware and in 2025 I underwent 2 x Total Knee Replacements, spaced 6 months apart. The most recent in September 2025.
Again, not what I'd describe as fun but actually less painful for me than the HTO surgery. Both knees have recovered remarkably well and while the most recent one still has a bit to go - I'm fully active - marathon swimming (alas not running), cycling increasing distances and rowing. Recently I covered 31km in one day walking, I'm up and down ladders to finish a house renovation and keep our hedges under control and I'm doing so with very limited discomfort and significantly less pain than before surgery. I'm looking forward to seeing what 'full function' looks like in 12 months or so.
So if you have a problem with your knees, I highly recommend Brad Seeto (and have recommended him to friends and colleagues) - he provides sound advice on injury management and is a skilled surgeon. You will definitely be in a safe pair of hands with Dr Seeto.
