About me

My services:
For full details of the treatments I offer, including information on robotic assisted personalised knee replacement, minimally invasive hip replacement including muscle sparing Direct Anterior Approach (DAA), as well as independent patient reviews, please visit my website: www.ganapathihipkneesurgeon.com

I am a high-volume specialist hip and knee surgeon with over 18 years' experience as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon.

My practice has a particular focus on robotic-assisted and personalised knee replacement, minimally invasive hip replacement including the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA), and rapid recovery following joint replacement surgery.

My focus is on providing personalised care, with treatment tailored to each patient's individual circumstances and goals. I believe that good surgical care is about more than technical skill. Listening carefully, understanding patients' expectations, communicating clearly, showing empathy and using technology appropriately are all important in providing personalised treatment. Independent patient feedback is available through iWantGreatCare, Top Doctors and Doctify.

Robotic-Assisted and Personalised Knee Replacement: I was among the early adopters of robotic-assisted knee replacement in the UK and have one of the largest robotic knee replacement practices in Wales and the North West. My practice combines robotic technology with modern personalised alignment principles, taking account of each patient's individual anatomy rather than using a 'one size fits all' approach.
I am also an official trainer for robotic knee replacement and regularly host visiting surgeons from the UK and overseas.

Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement and DAA hip replacement: I have extensive experience in minimally invasive hip replacement surgery and now also offer the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) for suitable patients. DAA is a muscle-sparing technique that may facilitate faster early recovery, earlier mobilisation and reduced post-operative restrictions in selected patients. The choice of surgical approach is personalised to the individual patient.

Rapid Recovery: My practice incorporates enhanced-recovery principles aimed at early mobilisation, effective pain control and faster return to normal activities. Selected patients may be suitable for day-case hip or knee replacement, returning home on the same day as surgery.

Training, Teaching and Research: I completed my specialist orthopaedic training in Wales, followed by joint replacement fellowship training in Cardiff and an advanced hip and knee fellowship in Montreal, Canada. I have been a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon since 2008.

I am an invited speaker at national and international meetings, particularly on robotic knee replacement, and am actively involved in research, teaching and surgical innovation. I was instrumental in establishing an advanced Robotic Knee Fellowship at Ysbyty Gwynedd and regularly train surgeons in robotic-assisted knee replacement.
