I have been a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon since 2014. Having completed my specialist training in the North West, I spent a year undertaking a specialist fellowship in hip and knee arthroplasty and pelvic and acetabular reconstruction at St George's Hospital, London.
My private practice includes custom made hip replacement surgery, hip soft tissue reconstruction (abductor repair/tendon repair), major trauma, medicolegal work, pelvic and acetabular trauma surgery and revision hip replacement.
On my return to the North West, I was appointed as a consultant at Wrightington Hospital, one of the five specialist centres for orthopaedics within England.
I work as a high volume hip and knee replacement surgeon, performing over 150 such procedures every year.
I also work as a member of the North West Pelvis and Acetabular Service, managing and treating patients referred for specialist treatment from centres all over the North West of England.
I am extremely keen on professional education and sit on the Specialist Training Committee for Orthopaedics in the North West. I also teach on a number of courses run locally, nationally and internationally, including courses on hip replacement surgery, revision hip replacement surgery and trauma.
Some of the principal treatments carried out by Mr Amol Chitre at Spire include:
