Mr James Holton

I am a Trauma and Orthopaedic Consultant specialising in hip and knee arthroplasty and soft tissues disorders. I hold a substantive position at Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. I offer comprehensive management of hip conditions including primary joint replacement, hip resurfacing alongside soft tissue surgery (arthroscopic) and revision arthroplasty for all cause revisions of the hip. I perform partial and total knee replacement and arthroscopic (key-hole) procedures. I commenced my surgical training in the West-Midlands Deanery (Birmingham) and worked with Birmingham University as an Academic Clinical Fellow (ACF). The focus of my research was in joint preservation using injectable stem cells to enhance chondrocyte growth and development. I subsequently completed a masters in clinical research (MRes) before transferring to the Thames Valley Deanery (Oxford) to finish my academic work and complete my surgical training. To gain more specialist training in the management of hip and knee conditions I completed a fellowship in lower limb arthroplasty and young adult hip disorders in Reading at the Royal Berkshire Hospital. I then completed my fellowship training at the world renowned Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Oxford. A centre that specialises in the management of complex primary and revision arthroplasty including infection and periprosthetic fracture management.

I perform primary hip replacements (cemented, hybrid and incremented) and resurfacing arthroplasty for suitable adults. I also perform partial (Uni) and total knee replacements. My sub-specialty interest is in revision arthroplasty in both hips and knees alongside complex reconstruction for metastatic bone disease.
