About the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital

A specialist orthopaedic centre, not a general hospital. Every theatre, ward, and rehabilitation pathway is built around bone and joint surgery.

The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, known locally as the ROH, is one of the largest specialist orthopaedic units in Europe. Unlike a general hospital with multiple competing departments, the ROH is single-specialty. Its theatres, nursing teams, anaesthetic services, and physiotherapy units have been built around hip and knee surgery, complex revision arthroplasty, bone tumour work, and spinal care for decades.

For private patients, the hospital offers care through the Woodlands Suite, its dedicated private patient wing. The Woodlands Suite is a purpose-built environment with individual en-suite rooms, designed to deliver the same surgical care that has built the ROH's reputation in a private hospital setting. Private patients have the same consultant, the same theatres, and the same level of orthopaedic-specific aftercare as the trust's NHS patients.

For hip and knee patients, this single-specialty focus matters. The on-site teams see arthroplasty patients every day. The pathways for fast-track recovery, complex revision, periprosthetic fracture, and joint infection are well established. If something does not go to plan, the depth of orthopaedic expertise available on a single site is unusual outside a few centres in the UK.

Mr Shakir Hussain's practice at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital

Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at the ROH and Clinical Service Lead for the Outpatient Department.

Mr Hussain is a substantive Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital. He sees private patients through the Woodlands Suite and operates in the same theatres that he uses for his NHS practice. He is an active member of the hospital's quality improvement committees and has been appointed Clinical Service Lead for the Outpatient Department.

His private practice at the ROH covers the full lower-limb arthroplasty workload: hip resurfacing, primary total hip replacement, primary and partial knee replacement, robotic-assisted knee replacement, and complex revision hip and knee surgery. He is one of a small number of UK surgeons routinely performing hip resurfacing arthroplasty in suitable younger active patients, and he manages periprosthetic fractures and prosthetic joint infections referred from other centres.

For suitable patients, he offers day-case hip and knee replacement, where patients are discharged safely on the day of surgery.
