About

Mr Sven Putnis is a Consultant Orthopaedic Knee Surgeon, specialising in a broad range of sports-related and other knee conditions which can occur throughout active adult life. Sports injuries may require arthroscopic (key-hole) surgery treating meniscal or cartilage damage, or reconstruction surgery on ruptured ligaments, most commonly the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). For joint damage caused by conditions such as Osteoarthritis (OA), he offers preservation surgery including combined arthroscopic and periarticular realignment osteotomy to slow the progression of damage. When joint damage is severe, he specialises in partial or total knee replacement, and if you present with a problematic knee replacement, this can be fully assessed with times when revision joint replacement may be required.

Mr Putnis completed a 6-year Specialist Training Programme in Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgery based at The University College London Hospitals, UK, rotating through hospitals in London. He followed this with an Australian Orthopaedic Association Clinical and Research Knee Fellowship at the Sydney Orthopaedic Research Institute. With over 50 research publications, journal reviews, and memberships of international research groups, the treatment he provides has proven success.
