About Mr. Bilal Barkatali

I am a Consultant Specialist Knee Surgeon and have extensive expertise across sports knee injuries and degenerative knee conditions. Working alongside a team of highly trained anaesthetists and medical professionals, the clinic is driven by a commitment to world-class, cutting-edge treatment and exceptional patient outcomes.

Over the course of my career, I have performed thousands of successful procedures, consistently achieving outstanding clinical results and receiving excellent patient feedback. My specialist interests include sports-related knee injuries, knee replacement surgery, joint preservation techniques (such as osteotomy), patello-femoral disorders, and biological treatments including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and cartilage regeneration.

My clinic is recognised for pioneering advanced surgical approaches, including the quad tendon ACL reconstruction (with the highest number of cases in the UK), biologics and joint preservation strategies, and Mako robotic total and partial knee replacement surgery.

I support both professional and amateur athletes in returning to peak fitness through a combination of surgical and non-surgical treatments. I work with athletes from a range of sports, including football, rugby, netball, hockey, and athletics, across various clubs and levels.

My surgical philosophy is founded on teamwork, clear communication, and consistently high standards. I am dedicated to tissue preservation and anatomical restoration, with a strong focus on functional recovery and enhanced rehabilitation – enabling patients to return to their desired level of activity safely and efficiently. I am committed to delivering an exceptional patient journey from initial consultation through to full recovery, integrating innovative technologies and personalised care pathways to support long-term joint health.

Research and teaching

In addition to my clinical work, I hold Honorary Senior Lectureships at both the University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University. I maintain an active involvement in academic research and regularly present at national and international conferences, engaging with global experts in knee surgery and medical innovation.

I am also passionate about education and am frequently invited to teach and demonstrate surgical techniques at major training courses in the UK and abroad, contributing to the development of future orthopaedic surgeons.
