About me

Professor Ernest Schilders is an internationally recognized orthopaedic surgeon specializing in minimally invasive hip and groin surgery. With over 3,000 hip arthroscopies performed, he brings world-class expertise in managing complex hip and groin conditions, particularly in athletes.

He is a leading authority on adductor, inguinal, hamstring, and pubic-related groin pain, and a pioneer in groin and adductor surgery in sport. His nerve-preserving hamstring procedures have helped elite athletes from Premier League and Champions League football, rugby, cricket, tennis, and ice hockey return to top-level competition.

A Professor of Orthopaedic Sports Medicine at Leeds Beckett University, Professor Schilders discovered the pyramidalis-anterior pubic ligament-adductor longus complex (PLAC), transforming the clinical understanding of athletic groin injuries. He has developed advanced MRI protocols and surgical techniques for adductor and PLAC injuries, as well as for sports-related hernias, significantly reducing recovery times. He also introduced selective neurolysis as a non-operative treatment for groin pain.

He is a Founding Fellow of the Faculty of Sport and Exercise Medicine (FFSEM) and was awarded a Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists in recognition of his contributions to imaging in sports-related groin pain.

His practice is grounded in innovation, evidence-based care, and a strong commitment to helping patients�from elite athletes to active individuals�return to full function.
