I am a consultant orthopaedic surgeon at Ipswich Hospital, and I see private patients at Nuffield Health Ipswich Hospital. I look after people with hip and knee problems from their first assessment through to surgery and recovery. My practice is evidence-based: many people do not need an operation, and I will tell you if that is the case for you.
Treatments
Hip replacement
Replacing a hip worn by arthritis, to relieve pain and stiffness.
Revision hip replacement
Redo surgery for a hip replacement that is worn, loose or causing problems.
Knee replacement
Total knee replacement for knee arthritis, including robotic-assisted surgery where suitable.
Partial knee replacement
Replacing only the worn part of the knee, keeping the healthy rest of the joint.

Knee arthroscopy and meniscal surgery
Keyhole surgery to repair or trim a torn meniscus when it is needed.

Groin, thigh or buttock pain, stiffness and a limp.
Knee arthritis
Knee pain, stiffness and swelling from wear of the joint.
Meniscal tear
Knee pain, catching or locking after a twist, or gradually with age.

What you can expect
Honest, evidence-based advice
I recommend surgery only when the likely benefits clearly outweigh the risks for you, and I explain both in plain language.
