Mr Ed Britton is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon with more than 17 years’ experience, specialising in knee conditions, young adult hip problems and hip replacement surgery.

His approach is centred on understanding the cause of a patient’s pain and considering the full range of treatment options available. Wherever appropriate, this includes non-surgical care, rehabilitation, injections, bracing, activity modification and joint-preserving treatments before surgery is considered.

Ed graduated from St Bartholomew’s and The Royal London Medical School and completed a BSc in Orthopaedic Sciences at University College London, based at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital. He then undertook specialist orthopaedic training on the prestigious Royal London Hospital rotation.

His sub-specialist training included three internationally recognised fellowships:

• The Royal Melbourne Fellowship
• A high-volume joint replacement fellowship at St Peter’s Hospital, Surrey
• The Basingstoke Knee Fellowship with Professor Adrian Wilson, focusing on knee preservation and osteotomy techniques
