Specialist Knee Surgeon
Neil Hunt has been practising as a Consultant Knee Surgeon for over 20 years and specialises in all aspects of knee surgery including Mako Robotic Knee Replacement.
Neil offers all aspects of knee surgery including arthroscopy or keyhole surgery, ligament reconstruction and sports knee surgery (from amateur to professional) and a full range of arthritis surgery including osteotomy (re-alignment), chondral and meniscal replacement techniques, uni-compartmental, partial and revision knee replacement and robotic knee replacement.
His aim is to maximise the function of all his patients throughout their lives by eliminating or reducing their pain, returning them to normal activities and, where possible, delaying the need for knee replacement.
Robotics are revolutionising many sectors of medicine and orthopaedic surgery is at the forefront of these developments.
Robotic knee replacement surgery is more precise and personalised to the individual patient. Surgery will be planned based on the patient’s specific diagnosis and anatomy, resulting in less trauma to the joint and a quicker recovery.
Mako Robotic Arm Assisted Surgery aims to improve the accuracy and reliability of joint replacement, aiming to position the new artificial implants in the optimal position individualised for each patient every time.
Neil is highly experienced and skilled in treating all knee conditions, including meniscal tears, knee ligament tears, patellofemoral pain, patellar instability, cartilage damage and knee arthritis.
Rather than just accepting knee pain which can lead to more advanced and adverse issues, early diagnosis and intervention is essential. The first step is to accurately diagnose the cause of the pain and lack of function and identify any injuries that may have occurred.
Neil can then offer treatment options which aim to return quality of life as comfortably and quickly as any underlying conditions will allow.
The knee joint is one of the most complex and important structures in the body and is essential for everything from everyday activities to strenuous physical activities. The joint is composed of bones, tendons, ligaments, muscles, and cartilage, which work together to bear weight, provide stability, and allow a wide range of motion. As a result, the knee is particularly susceptible to sudden injury or wear and tear over time,
Neil Hunt is a highly experienced specialist knee surgeon who offers the full range of treatment options, including ACL reconstruction, articular cartilage repair, meniscal repair or replacement, knee realignment, patella stabilisation, partial and total knee replacements. Recently, he has become fully trained and experienced in robotic-assisted knee surgery, which delivers individually-tailored joint replacements with greater accuracy and reliability.
