About

Mr Wael Dandachli is a Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon practising at Nuffield Health Warwickshire Hospital in Leamington Spa. With a career spanning over 25 years, Mr Dandachli has established himself as a leading specialist in hip surgery, with a particular focus on hip preservation and advanced joint replacement for patients across Warwickshire, Coventry and the West Midlands. His clinical approach combines surgical precision with a deep understanding of joint biomechanics, ensuring that patients ranging from high-level athletes to those with degenerative conditions receive a personalised, evidence-based treatment plan.
 
Beyond his clinical practice, Mr Dandachli is a pioneer in orthopaedic innovation. He earned his PhD from Imperial College London, where his research into the 3D analysis of the hip joint led to the patenting of a novel anatomic hip implant. This academic rigor informs his daily practice, allowing him to utilise the latest 3D imaging and computer-assisted technologies to improve surgical outcomes and implant longevity. As an Honorary Associate Professor at Warwick Medical School, he remains at the forefront of medical education and international research, ensuring his patients benefit from the most modern surgical techniques available.
 
Mr Dandachli’s expertise is particularly sought after for Young Adult Hip conditions. He is a specialist in hip arthroscopy (keyhole surgery) for treating patients with labral tears and femoroacetabular impingement (FAI)/Hip Impingement Syndrome, as well as complex procedures for hip dysplasia. His surgical training is world-class, having completed prestigious fellowships at Guy’s Hospital, London and the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore. This high-level specialisation allows him to manage complex primary hip replacements that require a nuanced understanding of pelvic anatomy.
 

At Nuffield Health Warwickshire Hospital, Mr Dandachli is committed to delivering a seamless patient journey, from initial diagnostic imaging to post-operative rehabilitation. He holds a substantive NHS post at the University Hospitals Coventry & Warwickshire NHS Trust, further cementing his reputation as a trusted regional expert. Whether performing a minimally invasive arthroscopic procedure or a complex hip reconstruction, his goal is to restore mobility and quality of life through surgical excellence and compassionate care.
