Mr Rajkumar has practised medicine for over 35 years and has been a consultant trauma and orthopaedic surgeon since 2010. His practice is devoted to the hip and knee — from the first painful step on the stairs through to joint replacement and recovery.
He trained in orthopaedics in Chennai before completing higher surgical training in the UK, and holds a fellowship in lower limb joint replacement. He held consultant posts in England, including Wrightington Hospital — internationally regarded as the home of modern hip replacement — and later in Northern Ireland, before moving to Scotland in 2019.
Patients consistently describe an unhurried consultation. Every option is set out plainly, including the option not to operate, so that the decision you reach is genuinely yours.
