About me

Mr Nezar Tumia is an experienced senior orthopaedic consultant surgeon with over 25 years of expertise in hip and knee surgery. He has completed more than 3,000 primary hip and knee replacements, including over 400 partial knee procedures. His revision rates ( re-operation rate) for both hip and knee replacements, as reported in the National Joint Registry, consistently remain well below national averages�demonstrating stable, high-quality performance and outcomes that compare favourably with national benchmarks.
Mr Tumia completed his advanced specialist training in Aberdeen, where he was awarded an MD (Doctorate of Medicine) for his research in cartilage regeneration. His work has been extensively published and presented at national and international conferences.
In 2007, he completed a prestigious fellowship in complex hip and knee reconstruction at the renowned St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto.
His broad surgical expertise includes both primary and revision (re-do) joint replacement procedures, using a range of conventional and advanced implant technologies, such as ceramic components and hip resurfacing..
In knee surgery, Mr Tumia is skilled in performing various types of partial knee replacements, including patellofemoral (kneecap) and unicompartmental procedures. His practice also includes knee arthroscopy (keyhole surgery).
His past research has explored areas such as computer-guided hip resurfacing, recovery after hip resurfacing, wound infection, and knee cartilage and tissue engineering. He has presented and published his findings widely and was honoured with the Best Paper Award in Germany in 2009.
He is committed to helping patients return to their desired level of activity and achieve a better quality of life.
