Mr Joyti Saksena is a consultant surgeon specialising in hip, knee, and sports orthopaedics. He has expertise in hip and knee replacements, arthroscopic procedures, ACL reconstruction, joint preservation, and patella stabilisation.
Mr Saksena qualified from the University of Dundee in 1995. He undertook basic surgical training in the UK and Australia before specialist orthopaedic training on the esteemed Royal London rotation. During his training, he completed three specialist fellowships: one in hip reconstruction at the Princess Grace and King Edward VII Hospitals, another in hip and knee arthroplasty at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, and the third on the knee at the Royal Free and Wellington Knee Unit. Mr Saksena became a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons and Physicians in 2007 and was appointed consultant orthopaedic surgeon in 2009.

He regularly conducts research in improving surgical outcomes and patient quality of life, aiming to enhance recovery with approaches that start from the pre-operative assessment and extend to post-operative rehabilitation; his research has been published in several journals and he has presented his work in Europe and the USA. Mr Saksena is also involved with medical education. He has been a training lead in orthopaedics before taking a post as the director of post-graduate medical education at The Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, where, since 2013, he has been responsible for over 600 trainees across three hospitals. He has delivered lectures on orthopaedics and has peer-reviewed for journals in his field.

- Excellent care from start to finish. All the staff were so helpful. My post op care was equally as good . Thank you to Chris in physio and to Dr Saksena for all your help and support
- Preparation for the operation was extremely thorough and helpful from the initial meeting with Mr Saksena to the pre-op and joint school. The operation and subsequent care were always professional and administered in a very kindly manner. There was a great physiotherapy team who reassured and encouraged each patient along. I feel very fortunate to have had Mr Saksena as my surgeon and to have made very good progress under his care.
- I had my hip replaced 5 weeks ago, and am totally pain free and walking normally again.
- At all times the treatment was professional, friendly and efficient
- I agree with five stars for everything. Mr Saksena is caring, friendly, helpful, willing to take time to provide explanations, and clearly a great surgeon. I would recommend him to anyone.
- Quick, efficient and informative
- the whole procedure was faultless
- I recently had a total knee replacement performed by Mr Joyti Saksena. I am recovering well due to his excellent skills. Everything was explained very well so I knew what to expect. Many thanks to Mr Saksena & his team.
- Mr Saksena was my surgeon who operated on my left hip replacement. I am recovering well and happy with the increased mobility and I am pain free on the left hip. Thank you to Mr Saksena and his team.
