Mr Shakir Hussain Consultant Orthopaedic Hip & Knee Surgeon in Birmingham
Mr Shakir Hussain is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital Birmingham and one of the UK's higher-volume hip and knee surgeons, with excellent outcomes. He sees private patients at the Royal Orthopaedic, Priory and Harborne hospitals for hip replacement, hip resurfacing, conventional and robotic knee replacement, and complex revision surgery.
Mr Shakir Hussain, Hip & Knee Orthopaedic Surgeon in the West Midlands
Mr Hussain's NHS practice is based at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, Birmingham, one of the UK's leading specialist orthopaedic hospitals and a tertiary referral centre, which means other hospitals send their most complex hip and knee cases there. His NHS and private work is devoted entirely to the hip and knee: first-time joint replacement, including complex cases, hip resurfacing, conventional and robotic knee replacement, and revision of hip and knee replacements that have failed.
His training includes prestigious fellowships at the Nottingham Elective Orthopaedic Centre, the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital with Mr Ronan Treacy, and the Bristol Lower Limb Arthroplasty Fellowship. He was awarded the British Hip Society Travelling Fellowship to the ENDO-Klinik Hamburg, Germany.
He is one of the UK's higher-volume hip and knee surgeons, according to national data from the National Consultant Information Programme (NCIP), and is certified on three robotic knee systems: MAKO, ROSA and CORI. He was the first surgeon at the ROH to perform day-case hip and knee replacement, and in June 2026 became the first in the Midlands to perform a CORI robotic revision knee replacement. His National Joint Registry results show that fewer of his hip and knee replacement patients need a repeat operation than expected, and his joint replacement results are among the best in the country.
He sees private patients at the Woodlands Suite at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, Priory Hospital Edgbaston and Harborne Hospital (HCA Healthcare), all in Birmingham.
