Mr Rajaratnam has performed over 5300 knee replacements with excellent outcomes, and is an expert on rapid recovery and lower pain scores following knee surgery. He has one of the lowest revision (failure) rates and best outcomes (PROMS) for knee replacements on the UK National Joint Registry and is an advocate for transparent, outcomes driven healthcare. He is an expert in robotic assisted knee replacement and was first to implement ROSA robotic technology within the UK private sector.
