I specialise in hip and knee surgery. I perform joint replacement surgery, revision (redo) joint replacement surgery of the hip and knee. I also practice soft tissue knee surgery such as arthroscopy (keyhole surgery), and arthroscopic anterior cruciate reconstruction surgery, and meniscal (cartilage) repair and resection. I am happy to see patients over the age of 16.

I have been a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon since 2007. I completed international fellowships specialising in joint replacement and sports medicine surgery. I am the clinical lead for the multidisciplinary team treating fracture neck of femurs in Southend University Hospital.

I have been running a busy consultant practice for nine years. I performed more than 1,500 primary joint replacements (hips and knees) and more than 200 revision joint replacements (redo hips and knees) on the national joint registry. I also perform many arthroscopic knee procedures including anterior cruciate reconstructions. To ensure optimum patient outcomes I recruit my patients to the Amplitude clinical outcome system for long term follow up. More details around the number of surgeries I have performed can be found on the National Joint Registry.

I'm proud to say that I have been awarded the iWantGreatCare Certificate of Excellence in 2019, 2021 and again in 2022. The Certificate of Excellence is an award made to clinicians by an independent patient experience website. It is awarded to those who receive consistently outstanding and positive feedback from their patients throughout the year, and is an endorsement from patients who rate them as delivering truly great care. Reviews from my patients can be found at IWantGreatCare, as well as my website.

I have published work on newer long lasting types of hip replacement. My work has been cited in nearly 200 publications.

I welcome appropriate patients wishing to refer and pay for treatment themselves without the need for a GP's letter of referral.

Below is feedback from some of my patients at Spire Wellesley Hospital:

'My consultant was recommended by my friend who had a knee replacement done a few years ago. I'm so happy that I chose him as my consultant, he was very understanding and very clear on what had to be done'.

November 2021: 'Top class, experienced, thorough and very knowledgeable. Firm with patients but encouraging and understanding. Mr Lusty provided skills, aptitude, and inspired confidence in the process and its outcome. His honest appraisals gave me confidence and willpower to maintain a fully positive attitude'.

December 2021: 'Excellent - was very confident with his care'.

December 2021: 'Complete confidence in this consultant, that is why I chose this hospital'.
