I’m Steve Millington, a consultant orthopaedic and trauma surgeon with over 20 years experience

Specialising in hip and knee surgery, sports injuries, and complex trauma

Whether it’s a joint replacement, keyhole surgery or non-operative treatment, I’m here to help you move better, live pain-free, and get back to doing what you love.

I’ve spent over two decades treating peoples bones, joints, ligaments, cartilage and injuries — and occasionally with a TV crew present
(yes, I once did a knee replacement live on national TV

I spent 10 years as Head of Department at Barts Health Orthopaedic Centre, and undertake complex surgery and major trauma work at The Royal London. I also run several private clinics across London.

I specialise in managing hip and knee as well as sports injuries, helping patients from across London, the home counties and internationally, from working professionals to retirees and athletes and those who are tired of long NHS waiting lists. I’m approved by all major insurers and also work with self-pay patients.

Following consultation and examination, I put together a clear personalised treatment plan for you — which could be physio, injections (e.g. steroids or viscosupplement), and/or surgery etc and is tailored to your needs and preferences.

I also work closely with leading consultants across London to provide the best level of care possible to UK and overseas patients.

My goal is simple: to deliver clear, compassionate care grounded in clinical excellence.

About Me

I didn’t become an orthopaedic surgeon by accident, having played rugby at elite level and been a patient myself after a significant knee injury requiring several rounds of surgery I developed a passion for trauma and orthopaedic surgery as a medical student and young doctor. I’ve certainly fixed my share of of bones and joints, from ACL injuries on the ski slopes to arthritic hips and knees in older patients, my focus is helping people move well again. Whether you’re training for a marathon, playing with your kids, or simply tired of long NHS waiting lists, I offer expert, practical care.
