About me

High-volume Hip & Knee Replacement | Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement | Robotic Knee Replacement | Complex & Revision Joint Replacement | ACL reconstruction

Mr Shibu Krishnan is a specialist Consultant Hip and Knee Surgeon with a high-volume joint replacement practice in Buckinghamshire. His private practice is based at The Chiltern Hospital, Great Missenden, The Shelburne Hospital, High Wycombe, and Spire Thames Valley Hospital.

His practice has a particular focus on minimally invasive total hip replacement and robotic-assisted total knee replacement, alongside conventional hip and knee replacement, partial knee replacement, complex primary joint replacement and revision hip and knee surgery.

Mr Krishnan is a highly experienced joint replacement surgeon. His latest National Joint Registry practice profile records more than 350 joint replacement procedures in a 12-month period, giving him extensive experience across both hip and knee replacement surgery.

He has particular expertise in minimally invasive total hip replacement, using tissue-sparing surgical techniques intended to minimise unnecessary disruption to the muscles and soft tissues surrounding the hip while achieving accurate and stable implant positioning.

Mr Krishnan also has particular expertise in robotic-assisted total knee replacement. Robotic technology assists with detailed surgical planning, accurate bone preparation, implant positioning and individualised balancing of the knee. He combines this technology with his extensive experience in conventional knee replacement to tailor the operation to each patient's anatomy.

In addition to joint replacement, Mr Krishnan has extensive experience in joint-preserving and sports knee surgery, including knee arthroscopy, meniscal surgery, cartilage repair and restoration and ACL reconstruction. He has performed more than 1,000 knee arthroscopies and undertook specialist research and fellowship training in cartilage regeneration. This breadth of expertise allows him to consider the full spectrum of treatment, from non-operative and joint-preserving options through to partial, total or revision joint replacement.

Mr Krishnan also undertakes complex primary and revision hip and knee replacement surgery, including assessment and treatment of painful, loose, unstable or problematic previous joint replacements.

He completed specialist fellowship training at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore, including a Clinical Research Fellowship in cartilage regeneration and a Lower Limb Fellowship. He subsequently completed the British Orthopaedic Association Transitional Fellowship in hip and knee surgery, with further fellowship training at St Mary's Major Trauma Centre, London, and the University Clinic M�nster, Germany.

Mr Krishnan is an Assistant Professor at St George's University School of Medicine, Grenada, and an Associate Member of the Faculty of Surgical Trainers at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. He is an Associate Editor of the International Journal of Orthopaedic Sciences and a longstanding reviewer for The Bone & Joint Journal.

His approach is to tailor treatment to the individual patient. Where appropriate, he considers non-operative treatment and joint-preserving surgery before recommending joint replacement. When replacement is required, he combines extensive surgical experience with modern techniques, including minimally invasive hip replacement and robotic-assisted knee replacement, with the aim of reducing pain, restoring mobility and helping patients return to the activities that matter to them.
