About

Philip has a worldwide reputation for excellence in knee surgery, regularly teaching in both across the UK and internationally as invited faculty for National Orthopaedic Associations on both the theory and advanced surgical knee techniques. His lectures and teaching are mostly aimed at enhancing the knowledge and surgical skill of other consultant specialist knee surgeons and trainee surgeons worldwide.

In his surgical practice in the UK, he performs 4 x more revision knee surgeries than the national average and twice as many knee replacements. His published outcomes for all primary and revision knee replacements remain consistently above the national average.

Philip has also developed a specialised practice in the management and prevention of sporting injuries and works closely alongside leading sporting clubs and schools in Hampshire. He is one of only a handful of specialists on the South Coast treating adolescent ( age 16 and above) paediatric knee injuries - performing cartilage reconstruction, meniscal repairs and complex ligament reconstruction surgery and has over 20 years experience developing his special interest in adolescent sporting injuries. 

Philip appeared in the Daily Mail 2018 'Good Doctors Guide’ - having been voted by his peers as one of the top 15 knee replacement surgeons in the UK. 

He is a Visiting Professor in the Faculty of Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton, working closely with colleagues in the department of Electronics and Computer Studies (ECS) in the field of wearable electronic sensor technologies.
