Mr. Jig Patel MB BS FRCS (Tr & Orth)

Hip and Knee Specialist
Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr. Patel is an orthopaedic surgeon specialising in knee
and hip disorders as well as fractures and trauma at
University College Hospital, London (UCH).

"I graduated from Southampton University Medical School
in 1992. My orthopaedic surgical training was based in
major London teaching hospitals and the Royal National
Orthopaedic Hospital. I was fortunate to spend a year long
fellowship in London, Ontario Canada, specialising in hip
and knee surgery."

"I started as an Orthopaedic Consultant at King College
Hospital in 2002 before being appointed an Orthopaedic
Consultant at University College Hospital in 2004.
My interests include hip and knee disorders as well as
computer assisted joint replacement surgery, arthroscopic
knee surgery and minimally invasive fixation of fractures."

“My father was a carpenter and I loved helping him fix
broken things. Orthopaedics offered me the chance to
combine my medical knowledge, practical surgical skills,
and scientific abilities.”

"Hip and knee disorders can be very debilitating.
I get immense satisfaction in returning patients
to normal mobility."

"Replacing or repairing the hip or knee is all about
bonding things together and using the best materials
available, which I find fascinating. I'm particularly
interested in fixing fractures using the very latest
minimally invasive techniques, which encourage the
bone to heal itself, speeding up the healing process
and giving a lovely cosmetic result."
"I'm straight talking, relaxed, and down-to-earth.
I practise evidence-based medicine with clearly
defined and realistic goals."
"I am too modest to say"

“I used to be a county hockey player but my sporting
activities are now confined to trying to play golf and
watching all sports. My wife is a cancer nurse and we
have three children between the age of four and seven
who keep us very busy!”
