HI Emis,
Could you help me please?
I wish to search a specific subject ie "Dual Mobility hip replacement"
When I type this in the search it shows a list of posts but I cannot open up the specific post to read it.
It only lists all of the posts under Hip replacement, some 250 pages worth!
Thanks

  Hi,
  
  There is a way of searching specific terms so for dual mobility you can use https://patient.info/search.asp?searchTerm=%24%22Dual+Mobility%22&collections=All
  
  Using $"xxx" where xxx is the phrase you want will narrow search results.
  Regards,,
