About

Mr Barnett is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in knee injuries and knee surgery. He trained in Bristol, spending much of his time at the Avon Orthopaedic Centre, a national centre recognised for excellence in clinical care and research. He then completed eighteen months of advanced fellowship training across Oxford, Sydney and Exeter, gaining experience in complex knee conditions, sports injuries and modern surgical techniques.

He has developed particular expertise in arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery, ligament reconstruction, partial knee replacement and patellofemoral (kneecap) instability. After training under Mr Jonathan Eldridge, a leading expert in this field, Mr Barnett became one of only a small number of UK surgeons who regularly perform Trochleoplasty.
