About

Mr Tim Spalding is a world-renowned Specialist Knee Surgeon and Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon practising at Nuffield Health Warwickshire Hospital. With over 30 years of surgical experience, he is internationally recognised as a pioneer in knee preservation and the management of complex sports injuries. Mr Spalding is the UK’s most experienced surgeon in meniscal transplantation, having successfully completed more than 400 procedures to date. His clinical focus is dedicated to saving the knee joint whenever possible, utilising cutting-edge ortho-biologics, articular cartilage repair, and osteotomy to restore function and delay or prevent the need for joint replacement in active patients.

His surgical precision is deeply rooted in a distinguished 15-year career with the Royal Navy and Royal Marines, where he specialised in treating high-intensity injuries in service personnel. This expertise in high-demand knee recovery transitioned into the world of elite sports; Mr Spalding has served as the trusted specialist knee surgeon for several major professional clubs, including Coventry City FC, West Bromwich Albion, and Birmingham City FC. Patients benefit from this "pro-athlete" level of care, whether they are professional sportsmen or individuals looking to regain mobility for daily life in Warwickshire and Leamington Spa.

Beyond his clinical practice, Mr Spalding is a leading global authority in orthopaedic research and education. He is the past president of the International ACL Study Group and is the Chairman of the National Ligament Registry (UKNLR). He remains at the forefront of surgical innovation, ensuring his patients at Nuffield Health Warwickshire Hospital receive the most advanced, evidence-based treatments available. His practice specialises in comprehensive care for meniscus injuries, ACL and other knee ligament reconstruction, meniscal allograft transplantation, patello-femoral instability, osteotomy and complex multi-ligament repairs, in addition to primary knee replacement surgery.

Beyond the Midlands, Mr Spalding works two days a week at The Cleveland Clinic, London, where he is Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery.
