Mr Abhijit Dey

I am a consultant in trauma and orthopaedic surgery, with a specialist interest in complex hip and knee disorders in children and adults. My practice encompasses the entire spectrum of lower limb problems, ranging from sports injuries requiring arthroscopic (keyhole) reconstruction, to hip and knee arthroplasty (replacement) for degenerative diseases.

In my arthroplasty practice, I perform primary and revision (redo) hip and knee replacements, using cemented and non-cemented prostheses. I offer both unicompartmental (partial) and total joint arthroplasty depending upon the patient’s needs. In my sports injury practice, I perform arthroscopic ligament reconstruction, cartilage and meniscal repair, and realignment procedures. My trauma practice includes the management of more challenging problems such as multiligament injuries and periprosthetic fractures.

I graduated in Medicine from the University of Cardiff in 1995 and completed my General Surgical Training in South Wales. I then completed a two-year Clinical Research Fellowship at the WHO Collaborating Centre for Metabolic Bone Diseases at the University of Sheffield leading to the degree of Doctor of Medicine (MD). I completed my specialist Higher Surgical Training in Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery in the Leicester region. Thereafter, I undertook a one-year Fellowship in Hip and Knee Arthroplasty at the Calvary Hospital in Canberra, Australia, and a six-month Fellowship in Knee Surgery and Sports Injuries at the Holland Orthopaedic and Arthritic Centre (Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre) in Toronto, Canada.

I was appointed as a Consultant in Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery in 2009.

I was formerly the Royal College Surgical Tutor and a member of the Specialty Training Committee in Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery. I have been a member of the Court of Examiners for the Royal College of Surgeons since 2012.
