Mr Richard Carrington

Professional profile

I am an Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in Hip and Knee Surgery, based at the internationally renowned Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, the UK's premier specialist orthopaedic hospital. I was appointed as a Consultant to the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in 2003. Prior to taking up the appointment I underwent Specialist Fellowship training in hip and knee surgery at Harvard, in Boston USA.

My area of expertise includes hip and knee replacement surgery, knee surgery for injuries including meniscal tears and cruciate ligament ruptures, and cartilage transplantation. I use the latest technology in hip and knee replacements.

I am involved in the design and development of future knee replacement prosthesis that will ultimately use technology to design bespoke implants. I continue to have a keen academic interest and publishes regularly in peer review journals. I am also an enthusiastic teacher and am regularly invited to speak on my areas of expertise both at national and international orthopaedic meetings. I run five courses a year at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital training junior surgeons in various techniques of hip and knee surgery.
