My physio has put me forward for an MRI and a consultant review regarding some issues with one of my hips and I'd therefore like to pick my own consultant at the outset.

Does anyone have any recommendations for hip experts in the North West?

Cheers

Professor Peter Kay at Wrightington Hospital - http://www.wwl.nhs.uk/consultants/specialist_servi...

But any of the hip consultants at Wrightington will be a considerably more experienced your average orthopaedic surgeon, and not far from Manchester.

That's slightly unfair on the non-Wrightington surgeons.

The best hip surgeons are not all there, there are some good ones there, but it's not like they have the cream all in one place.

Have a look at the list of Presidents of the British Hip Society (past and present)...there's a good geographical spread https://www.britishhipsociety.com/main?page=About%...

I don't do elective hips, but these are my colleagues

Wrightington is good. Mr Shah did my original reconstruction and then the full THR.

However I'm sure there's plenty of good guys out there but if you are near wrightington I don't see why you'd go anywhere else.

OCD on here did my replacement last year, I can't recommend him and his team enough.

Not Manchester though.
