Welcome to Sport Hip London
Mr Stafford is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon who specialises in sports related hip disorders, hip arthroscopy and minimally invasive hip replacement.
Mr Stafford works very closely with sports physicians and physiotherapists as part of a multidisciplinary approach to ensure that all aspects of the patient’s problems are identified and addressed appropriately both prior to and after surgery. An active sportsman himself, he has rapidly become one of the country’s highest volume hip arthroscopists, specialising in the treatment femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), labral tears and sports hip injuries. He is known for his clear communication, accurate diagnosis and careful patient selection. He routinely uses ‘Enhanced Recovery’ techniques for his hip replacement patients, keeping post-operative pain and lengths of stay and complications to a minimum.
