Mr Chris Evans
Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon
MB ChB, FRCS (Ed), FRCS (Tr& Orth)
Specialises in
- Hip replacement surgery
- Joint pain treatment (joint injections)
- Knee arthroscopy surgery
- Knee replacement
I have more than 16 years of experience working in a high‑volume specialist centre with consistently strong outcomes. My practice is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of hip and knee conditions, beginning with a careful assessment and accurate diagnosis, with surgery recommended only where appropriate.
I have a particular interest in managing painful joint conditions, including osteoarthritis and mechanical problems such as torn cartilage. Where suitable, I offer keyhole (arthroscopic) procedures as well as joint replacement surgery for both hip and knee conditions.
I regularly perform primary hip and knee replacements and have significant experience in managing more complex cases, including advanced primary joint reconstruction and revision surgery for failed or worn joint replacements. To date, I have performed more than 6,000 hip and knee replacements, including over 400 procedures in the past year.
I am actively involved in improving patient experience and outcomes, particularly through enhanced recovery programmes and the use of muscle‑sparing and small‑incision surgical techniques. I use high‑performing implants with a well‑established track record. I also contribute to national quality improvement by submitting data for all of my cases to the UK National Joint Registry, the largest database of its kind, with over 4.5 million recorded procedures.
I was appointed as a Consultant at the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital in Oswestry in 2004 following completion of the West Midlands Higher Specialist Training Scheme and the Cavendish Hip Fellowship in Sheffield.
I currently serve as Clinical Lead and Chair of the Arthroplasty Group at the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital. I am also the Designated Individual for the Human Tissue Authority licence at Oswestry, with responsibility for the safe procurement and storage of donated bone for transplantation.
In addition to my clinical work, I am actively involved in training the next generation of surgeons through the West Midlands training programme at Oswestry, which has a strong track record of trainee success.
