Mr John Jeffery

I trained at Imperial College London and completed my postgraduate training on the Oxford Orthopaedic rotation, before coming to the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children, where I was appointed as a consultant.  ? In my NHS practice, I treat general paediatric orthopaedic conditions with a focus on the knee. I have a lot of experience treating young athletes and work closely with regional sports, dance and gymnastics academies. I’m also a regional ambassador for Power Up To Play, helping to prevent knee injuries in youth sports. ? Outside of work I remain a keen endurance athlete. I understand the resilience and the commitment it takes to perform at a high level, but also to recover from injury and surgery.

I treat all Paediatric Orthopaedic problems with a specialist interest in knee conditions from the simple to the complex. I aim to provide every patient and their family with a timely, professional assessment and treatment plan which, for some, may involve surgery. ? ?Children require a different approach to adults. Not only are there anatomical and physiological differences, but social and emotional differences, that vary with age and between individuals.   ?I offer private consulting and surgery for 0-18-year-olds with conditions such as: ? Patellofemoral instability/pain Cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures Meniscal pathology (tears, instability) Knee pain and swelling Osteochondral/chondral defects/fractures Osteochondritis dissecans Rotational and alignment abnormalities Limb length inequality ? Knee symptoms need not be debilitating, and sports injuries need not be career-ending for the young athlete.
