What Professor Lee treats
A consultant orthopaedic surgeon, expert in conventional, well-proven knee, hip, sports and trauma surgery. That mastery of the gold standard is the foundation of everything below, and the reason his pioneering techniques exist: as proof of the fundamentals, performed alongside them, not instead of them.
The full repertoire, from gold-standard surgery to the advances it produced
Each area below carries the conventional, well-proven operation Professor Lee performs and, in the same area, the technique he has pioneered or advanced on top of it. Every area also has its own boundary: where he would step in, and where he would recommend against intervention. Choose where your question begins.
01
Hip and knee replacement
Gold-standard arthroplasty, performed when replacement is genuinely the right answer.
Total and partial hip and knee replacement, Birmingham Hip Resurfacing, patellofemoral arthroplasty, robotic and kinematic alignment, cemented and cementless, short-stem and revision surgery. The same mastery underpins TWIS-TKR, SPAIRE and the Bikini-incision anterior approach.

02
ACL and sports knee injuries
Reconstruction done well, repair where it is possible.
ACL reconstruction with hamstring, patellar or quadriceps grafts, MPFL reconstruction, tibial tubercle transfer, patellofemoral instability and synovial plica surgery, alongside STARR augmented ACL repair for suitable cases. A sports-medicine perspective on returning athletic patients to function.

03
Sports and soft-tissue surgery
The injuries that keep active people from full function.
Proximal hamstring repair, Achilles repair and rupture management, acromioclavicular joint reconstruction, recalcitrant tennis elbow, groin and adductor problems and chronic exertional compartment syndrome. A surgeon and Fellow of the Faculty of Sports and Exercise Medicine.

04
Trauma and fracture surgery
Orthopaedic trauma, handled to the standard the injury demands.
Hip fracture surgery, including tendon-sparing hemiarthroplasty for displaced intracapsular fractures and intramedullary nailing of unstable intertrochanteric fractures, alongside general orthopaedic trauma and foot and ankle work. Held to FRCS (Tr & Orth) and FEBOT standards as a Consultant Arthroplasty and Sports Surgeon.

05
Meniscus preservation
The meniscus matters more than people are told.
Meniscus repair and root repair, decision-making around meniscus injury and combined cartilage damage, and augmented meniscus repair for tears at the limit of standard technique. The long-term joint in mind, not just the symptom.

06
Hip preservation and SPAIRE
Preserve where you can, replace well where you must.
Hip preservation first. When replacement is the right answer, SPAIRE (Save Piriformis And Internus, Repair Externus) and the Bikini-incision anterior approach preserve the soft tissue around the joint for faster recovery and fewer post-operative restrictions.

07
Joint injections and orthobiologics
Used precisely, not as a marketing category.
Diagnostic and image-guided injections, PRP, PRF, microfragmented adipose tissue, BMAC and hyaluronic acid, alongside an Arthrosamid protocol of more than 1000 treatments, the first in the UK. Targeted relief inside a wider treatment strategy.

08
Cartilage and joint preservation
Established cartilage repair, and the next generation of it.
MACI, ACI, osteochondral allograft transplantation and microfracture for focal cartilage damage, alongside specialist assessment of arthritic joints that may still be preserved. Anchored in the ICRS Accredited Teaching Centre of Excellence in cartilage and joint preservation surgery.

09
ChondroFiller and cartilage regeneration
Cartilage is not just another tissue.
Single-stage autologous cartilage implantation (STACi), Liquid Cartilage Plus and ChondroFiller (manufactured by Meidrix Biomedicals GmbH), built on the conventional cartilage-repair canon for focal full-thickness defects.

Recovery and rehabilitation optimisation
Recovery is part of the operation, not after it.
Prehabilitation, structured progression, sleep, strength and Regen PhD systems thinking, designed to make whatever treatment you have, work better.

11
Complex second opinions
For the cases where the standard pathway is not the whole answer.
Second-opinion assessment for patients weighing surgery, including those told they need a replacement who want to understand the full range of options. International patients welcome.

What connects all of this work
Master the gold standard, then advance it.
That is the thread that runs through Professor Lee's clinical work. The conventional, well-proven operation comes first and is done well. The pioneering technique grows out of it, as proof of that command of the fundamentals, never as a substitute for them.
The areas above are not a menu, they are a way of organising the same discipline: the right operation, conventional or advanced, for the person sitting in the room.
That is where good decisions begin.
Clinical expertise is not only about what can be done
It is about knowing what should and should not be done, and when
The important thing is not simply doing more. It is making sure the decision is the right one.
