About me
Mr Caesar Wek is a Consultant Orthopaedic Hip and Knee Surgeon specialising in hip and knee replacement, with a particular expertise in revision hip surgery. He sees private patients at The Winterbourne Hospital in Dorchester and Harbour Hospital in Poole.
Mr Wek is one of only a handful of surgeons in Dorset performing muscle-sparing, minimally invasive hip replacement using the SPAIRE and piriformis-sparing approaches. Because the muscles and tendons around the hip are preserved, most patients need none of the usual 6�12 weeks of hip precautions and can return to normal life more quickly and confidently.
He is fellowship-trained in complex and revision hip surgery, having completed the Royal Bournemouth Hip Fellowship and the Revision Hip & Knee Replacement Fellowship at St George's Hospital, London. He accepts referrals for painful or failing hip replacements regardless of where the original surgery was performed.
Mr Wek treats hip and knee arthritis at every stage. Not every patient needs an operation: he offers the full range of non-surgical options, including injection treatments, and prides himself on honest advice � recommending surgery only when it is genuinely the right answer for the patient's symptoms and goals.
He graduated from the University of Manchester Medical School, gained a BSc (Hons) in Orthopaedic Sciences from University College London � where his research at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore was awarded a prize � and completed specialist orthopaedic training in London, including King's College Hospital and Guy's & St Thomas'. He was awarded Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons in 2020.
Mr Wek has authored a book chapter on minimally invasive hip replacement, published widely in major orthopaedic journals, and presents regularly at national and international conferences. He completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Leadership through the British Orthopaedic Association Future Leaders Programme and holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Education.
He is a Consultant at Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust where he is Orthopaedic Clinical Lead for Trauma and Hip Fractures.
