About
Mr Sanjiv Chugh is a highly experienced Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon with specialist expertise in knee and hip surgery. He qualified as a doctor in 1983 and has undertaken extensive postgraduate orthopaedic training both in the UK and internationally. He was awarded a Master of Surgery (Orthopaedics) degree for his research into hip replacement techniques.
During his Specialist Registrar training on the Birmingham rotation, Mr Chugh was appointed as one of the first Lower Limb Reconstruction Fellows, working alongside Mr Derek McMinn — the pioneer of the resurfacing hip replacement, developed to offer younger patients a more durable surgical option. He later received a British Limb Reconstruction Society Travelling Fellowship to Italy, where he trained with world‑leading experts in external fixation and limb‑lengthening procedures.
Mr Chugh is Wolverhampton’s Senior Knee Surgeon and has extensive experience in knee replacement surgery, including unicompartmental and patellofemoral replacements, as well as the management of complex ligament injuries. He regularly performs surgical repair and reconstruction following sports‑related knee injuries, supporting patients for whom rapid and reliable recovery is essential.
He also continues to offer a full range of hip procedures, including total hip replacement and resurfacing hip replacement.
Alongside his clinical work, Mr Chugh is a surgical skills trainer for the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and serves on the regional training committee overseeing orthopaedic registrar education in the West Midlands. He has also held the position of President of the Naughton Dunn Society, the West Midlands Educational Society for Orthopaedic Surgeons.

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.
