About
Mr Thompson is highly regarded for his expertise in sports medicine and keyhole surgery. He frequently treats athletes for ACL reconstructions, meniscal repairs, patella instability and complex multi-ligament injuries. His clinical interests also extend to biological knee therapies, including cartilage repair and realignment osteotomy, which are designed to preserve the natural joint and delay the need for replacement in younger, active patients. This comprehensive approach makes him one of the most sought-after orthopaedic surgeons in the West Midlands for both adult and paediatric knee cases.
For patients requiring knee replacement who are seeking the most advanced surgical options, Mr Thompson is a specialist in Mako™ robotic-arm assisted knee surgery. This state-of-the-art technology allows for a higher degree of accuracy during total and partial knee replacements compared to traditional methods, ensuring optimal soft tissue balancing and a more natural feel post-surgery. By tailoring each procedure to the patient’s unique anatomy, Mr Thompson helps patients across Coventry and Warwickshire return to their active lifestyles with greater confidence and reduced recovery times.
As an active member of the British Association of Surgery of the Knee (BASK) and a surgical educator linked to Warwick University, Mr Thompson remains at the forefront of orthopaedic education. His contribution to research in various aspects of knee sugery including patella instability, meniscal transplantation, osteochondral allograft transplantation and ACL reconstruction ensures that his patients receive evidence-based care. Whether managing a triathlon, skiing, football, netball, hockey or rugby injury, or managing advanced osteoarthritis, Mr Thompson focuses on restoring function and quality of life through either non-operative management or evidence based contemporary surgical intervention.
