Professional statement

Mr Rajpal Nandra is a highly experienced consultant orthopaedic surgeon in Oswestry who specialises in arthritis requiring primary hip replacement, sports hip injuries and femoroacetabular impingement, alongside hip dysplasia, rotational abnormalities of tibia and femur and revision hip surgery. He privately practises on the Ludlow Wing at The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital while his NHS base is The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust.

Mr Nandra, who is highly qualified with a FRCS and MRCS from the Royal College of Surgeons, an MA in Research (University of Birmingham) and an MRCGP (Royal College of General Practitioners) alongside an MBBS from the University of London and a BSc from Bart’s & The Royal London Medical School, has an approach that includes using both cemented and uncemented prostheses for primary hip arthroplasty, ensuring that treatment plans are tailored to individual needs.

Mr Nandra has a particular passion for hip preservation surgery, aiming to prevent the progression of conditions that could lead to end-stage arthritis and necessitate joint replacement. He frequently assesses young adults with hip pain caused by abnormal joint development, sports injuries, or work-related issues, with common conditions including hip dysplasia, femoroacetabular impingement, and the sequelae of childhood conditions like Perthes disease or Slipped Upper Femoral Epiphysis (SUFE). He collaborates with a multidisciplinary team to mitigate further joint damage, rehabilitate surrounding muscles, and use minimally invasive techniques like hip arthroscopy to repair joint tissues.

Mr Nandra works with the International Society for Hip Arthroscopy and the Non-Arthroplasty Hip Registry. He is also involved in primary care, where he manages musculoskeletal pain and collaborates with integrated care systems to streamline patient pathways from initial consultation in primary care to definitive treatment in secondary care.

In addition to his clinical work, Mr Nandra is actively involved in research at the University of Birmingham's Department of Biochemical Engineering, focusing on bone and cartilage healing and developing resorbable drug and cell delivery systems. He is at the forefront of integrating emerging technologies, such as navigation and robotic-assisted surgery, to enhance the precision and predictability of hip surgeries, including arthroscopic FAI surgery and joint replacements. He is also keen on exploring new hip resurfacing prostheses and implementing innovative practices to reduce hospital stays, including day-case hip surgeries.

Mr Nandra's dedication to both patient care and the advancement of orthopaedic surgery is reflected in his memberships with esteemed professional organisations, including the Royal College of Surgeons of England, the British Orthopaedic Association, the British Hip Society and The Hip Preservation Society. His work continues to shape the future of hip surgery, combining clinical excellence with innovative research.
