About

Mr Munawar Hashmi is an established Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in lower limb joint reconstruction, hip and knee replacement, and robotic‑assisted Mako hip and knee surgery. He completed his Higher Specialist Orthopaedic Training in the Northern Deanery, Newcastle, developing a strong foundation in complex joint reconstruction and arthroplasty.

He undertook advanced sub‑specialist training in joint reconstruction and cartilage transplantation at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore, the UK’s national tertiary referral centre for orthopaedic surgery. In addition, he completed specialist training in hip replacement surgery under Ms Muirhead‑Allwood, Surgeon to HRH The Queen Mother, gaining expertise in complex and bone‑preserving hip procedures.

Mr Hashmi has further enhanced his experience through a series of prestigious visiting fellowships in the UK and internationally, broadening his exposure to complex primary and revision joint replacement, trauma reconstruction and advanced surgical techniques. He is also actively involved in surgical education and serves as faculty for hip and knee surgical training at the Newcastle Surgical Training Centre, Freeman Hospital.

His clinical practice encompasses both routine and complex hip and knee surgery, with a particular interest in young and active patients, bone‑preserving techniques, revision surgery, and robotic‑assisted joint replacement. He is experienced in managing challenging cases requiring complex reconstruction and tailored surgical solutions.
