Mr Amit Patel is a consultant trauma and orthopaedic surgeon in Staffordshire, who specialises in hips and knees including conditions such as sports injuries, degenerative joint disease and inflammatory arthritis. He treats knee pain, instability, stiffness, locking, giving way and swelling. Mr Patel performs conservative knee surgery so patients can keep their own joints for longer, and realignment surgery to address mechanical malalignment that predisposes to earlier joint degeneration.
Mr Patel graduated from Southampton Medical School in 2003. This was followed by a one-year internship at Southampton University General Hospital where he then entered into a surgical training programme at Southampton Teaching Hospitals. He achieved his membership of the Royal College of Surgeons in 2006 and completed his surgical training in 2007.
Mr Patel entered higher surgical training on The Stoke/ Oswestry Orthopaedic Training program. In 2013 he became a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons and proceeded to do a fellowship at the Exeter knee reconstruction unit.
He teaches both at national and international levels and is actively involved in the undergraduate teaching of Keele medical students and the postgraduate training of higher surgical trainees. Mr Patel is on the selection panel for the recruitment of higher surgical trainees and on the appraisal panel for the Stoke/ Oswestry orthopaedic registrars.
