Professional statement
Mr Justin Leong is a renowned consultant in trauma and orthopaedic surgery, with a particular focus on sports injuries as well as hip and knee surgeries. He has completed two esteemed fellowships at Wrightington and Northumbria University Hospitals, where he performed complex primary joint replacements and revision surgeries for failing joint replacements.
Additionally, he is interested in enhanced recovery protocols and same-day discharges following joint replacement procedures. His current practice involves managing sports-related knee injuries, including meniscal and ligament injuries. He also specialises in joint preservation surgery, unicompartmental (partial) knee replacements, total hip replacements, and total knee replacements.
Mr Leong employs a muscle-sparing approach for hip replacements (specifically the piriformis muscle), which promotes faster recovery and improved function during post-operative rehabilitation. His published research has concentrated on infection prevention in joint replacement surgeries and enhancing knee rehabilitation after such procedures. Furthermore, he is the lead author of the Revision Hip Complexity Classification (RHCC), developed in collaboration with experts from the British Hip Society to aid in the national restructuring of complex hip revision surgery networks.

- I cannot fault the treatment I received before, during and after my operation. My questions were answer honestly and although I was, obviously, not looking forward to my operation, should I require my other knee replacing in the future I would be pleased if Mr Leong could be my surgeon. I am extremely pleased with the outcomes which have exceeded my expectations. Thank you.
- Very knowledgeable skilled Orthopaedic Surgeon , great communication, total hip replacement carried out with care and a fantastic pain free result!
- The whole process was a success
- Robotic hip replacement, on 8 strong painkillers a day couldn't walk far or put my sock on or tie shoes. Whent to see Mr Leong booked me in for opp, when it was done after a couple of weeks recovering by week 5 I was walking 10,000 steps a day, it was like someone waved a wond no painkillers anymore fantastic, Thank you 10/10
- Mr Leong was very personable and professional. He explained the process and procedure very well, preparing me for potential different outcomes and then following up to explain how the rest of the recovery should be undertaken.
- In addition to first class skills as a surgeon, Mr Leong's approach was thoughtful and considered - I felt supported and listened to throughout my complete knee replacement surgery and post-operative care. His encouragement, and the support I received from his team, were key in motivating me to push ahead with physiotherapy to ensure my recovery.
- Couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of treatment I received
- A top quality experience throughout the process. Expert-led with full team backing from all concerned. Would highly recommend with no reservations. Many Thank to All.
- Dr.Leong's friendly manner, skill and professionalism with robotic surgery has made my total hip replacement a complete life changer. He is a wonderful consultant surgeon and nothing is too much trouble to explain anything to you. Thank you Dr Leung for changing my life.
