Mr Shivakumar Shankar

I offer private complex hip surgery, knee surgery and general trauma surgery in our clean and comfortable private hospitals – Spire Hartswood Hospital and and Spire London East Hospital. I am a consultant orthopaedic surgeon with special interest in computer navigated total hip replacement, computer navigated total knee replacement and computer navigated partial knee replacement. I use computer navigated surgery, which increases the accuracy of hip and knee replacement surgery further to improve the longevity of the artificial joint. My expertise in the computer navigation technology improves the functional outcome of my hip and knee replacement patients. I routinely also offer knee arthroscopy (keyhole) surgery, knee meniscal repairs, PRP injections and knee cartilage reconstruction surgery. In the NHS hospital we have the MAKO robotic hip and knee replacement system. I am a very high-volume Robotic hip and knee replacement surgeon with vast experience with both computer assisted and robotic hip and knee replacement surgery. To date, I have been involved in over 5,000 elective and trauma procedures. I have performed more than 2000 hip and knee replacements. I have performed more than 700 knee arthroscopic procedures. I was awarded the Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) by the GMC in October 2016. I am Fellowship trained.  My UK fellowships were the prestigious RNOH, Stanmore lower limb arthroplasty fellowship. Armed with evidence of innovation in the form of computed assisted lower limb arthroplasty to aid provision of best outcomes for my arthroplasty patients, I completed my fellowship at The Golden Jubilee Hospital, Glasgow in computer navigation assisted and Robotic hip and knee arthroplasty fellowship. To further my experience, I completed a travelling fellowship in Germany in Rummelsberg in the reputed unit of Professor Wagner with experience in anterior approach hip arthroplasty. I have clinical and academic links with the unit. I have obtained advanced training in complex hip and knee surgery during my national and international fellowships. Further to my mandatory qualifications of MRCS, FRCSEd (Tr & Orth), I have completed my MSc (Tr &Orth) from the University College of London. I have also completed a formal diploma in computer assisted and Robotic orthopaedic surgery. I obtained my trauma and orthopaedics training in the North East Thames and London Deanery on the prestigious Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH) rotation. I have trained in teaching hospitals like RNOH, the Great Ormond Street Hospital and the Royal London Hospital.
