About
Mr Sanjiv Chugh is a very experienced orthopaedic surgeon who specialises in knee and hip surgery. He became a doctor in 1983 and has completed extensive specialist training in the UK and abroad. He also earned a Master of Surgery degree for his research into hip replacement techniques.
During his specialist training in Birmingham, he became one of the first surgeons to take on a Lower Limb Reconstruction Fellowship, working with Mr Derek McMinn — the surgeon who developed the resurfacing hip replacement, designed to give younger patients a longer‑lasting option. He later received a Travelling Fellowship from the British Limb Reconstruction Society, which took him to Italy to train with world‑leading experts in limb‑lengthening and external fixation techniques.
Mr Chugh is the Senior Knee Surgeon in Wolverhampton and has wide‑ranging experience in all types of knee replacement surgery, including partial knee replacements and patellofemoral replacements. He also treats complex ligament injuries and regularly performs surgery for sports‑related knee problems, helping patients who need a fast and reliable recovery.
He continues to offer the full range of hip procedures, including total hip replacement and resurfacing hip replacement.
Alongside his clinical work, Mr Chugh teaches surgical skills for the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and sits on the regional training committee responsible for orthopaedic registrar training in the West Midlands. He has also served as President of the Naughton Dunn Society, the educational society for orthopaedic surgeons in the region.

Research
Mr Chugh has many published research articles and continues to carry out research alongside his clinical work. Current interests include computer navigated knee replacement surgery. (He is the only surgeon to have carried out this procedure in Wolverhampton).
He is also one of a small number of surgeons involved in the current ACTIVE trial of autologous chrondrocyte implantation. This is a trial of a new treatment for cartilage defects within the knee, which may prevent the need for later surgery such as knee replacements. Wolverhampton is one of only 24 centres in Europe currently engaged in this, with Mr Chuch as the surgeon carrying it out.
