About
Mr Malik is a fellowship-trained orthopaedic consultant with a sub-specialist interest in hip and knee surgery. He manages the full spectrum of painful hip and knee conditions and performs a high volume of joint replacements each year. He is experienced in using modern robotic-assisted techniques to enhance surgical accuracy and optimise patient outcomes.
Mr Malik graduated from Imperial College London, School of Medicine in 2012. He completed his higher specialty training in Kent, Surrey and Sussex before undertaking advanced fellowship training at Wrightington Hospital, an internationally renowned centre and the birthplace of modern lower limb arthroplasty. During his fellowship, he gained extensive experience in primary and revision hip and knee replacement surgery.
Mr Malik was also awarded the British Hip Society Travelling Fellowship Bursary, which facilitated his visitation to the orthopaedic unit at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, an international centre of excellence for hip and knee replacement surgery.
Mr Malik’s practice is centred on ensuring patients fully understand their condition and treatment options. He places great importance on clear communication, empathy and shared decision-making, with the aim of guiding each patient towards the approach that best suits their needs and lifestyle.
Special interests
Mr Malik has a specialist interest in the treatment of painful and arthritic conditions of the hip and knee. His surgical expertise includes total hip and knee replacement, unicompartmental knee replacement, complex revision hip and knee replacement, and knee arthroscopy. He performs a substantial number of joint replacements each year and has a particular focus on utilising the most up-to-date techniques, including robotic-assisted joint replacement, to deliver accurate, reliable and reproducible outcomes. For patients with complex or challenging anatomy, he also employs custom-made implants to help achieve the best possible results.
Not every patient requires surgery, and Mr Malik is equally committed to delivering high-quality non-operative care. He provides advice on non-surgical treatments for painful and chronic hip and knee conditions, offering guidance on long-term management, preventative measures and physiotherapy referrals. Where appropriate, he also uses targeted injections to help patients manage their symptoms.
In addition to steroid injections and
viscosupplementation, Mr Malik offers Arthrosamid®, an injectable hydrogel
implant used in selected patients with knee arthritis, which has been shown to
deliver long-lasting pain relief, often with just a single treatment.

- Spending time with his young family
