About Mr Caesar Wek

Mr Caesar Wek is a Consultant Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgeon based in Dorset, specialising in primary and revision hip and knee replacement surgery. He works at Dorset County Hospital, where he serves as Orthopaedic Clinical Lead for Trauma and Hip Fractures, and also consults privately at The Winterbourne Hospital in Dorchester, where he welcomes both insured and self-funding patients.

Mr Wek offers evidence-based treatments including hip replacement, revision hip surgery, knee replacement, and hip injections. He is among the few surgeons in Dorset skilled in minimally invasive small-scar hip replacement techniques, such as SPAIRE and piriformis-sparing approaches, which support faster recovery and improved post-operative comfort. His patient-centred philosophy emphasises clear communication, calm and compassionate care, and ensuring each patient fully understands their treatment options.

With over 16 years of clinical experience, Mr Wek completed dual fellowship training in complex hip and knee surgery, including the Royal Bournemouth Complex Primary and Revision Hip Fellowship and the Revision Hip & Knee Arthroplasty Fellowship at St George’s Hospital, London. He also served as an Honorary Clinical Lecturer at Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry and regularly teaches on national and regional orthopaedic training programmes. His research contributions include international conference presentations and publications, as well as a co-authored chapter on minimally invasive hip arthroplasty in Hip Arthroplasty: Current and Future Directions (2023).

Mr Wek is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and an active member of the British Orthopaedic Association, the British Hip Society, and World Orthopaedic Concern.

If you need a hip replacement I would recommend Mr Wek and his minimally invasive technique/operation. Besides some discomfort at various times my experience was virtually pain free and after 5 weeks I was walking without crutches albeit rather slowly and cautiously. I was in a lot more pain and discomfort particularly from my knee prior to having the hop operation

Mr Wek performed my total hip replacement left side in August 2026 and I am amazed by the results. I was well cared for and the operation itself was performed with minimal intrusion, a smaller scar than I had expected and this led to a very swift recovery. I cannot recommend Mr Wek and his team at the Winterbourne highly enough.

My experience for a Hip replacement with Dr Wek was outstanding. I was initially very scared and apprehensive to have such a major surgery but his kind, caring demeanour put me immediately at ease. He explained everything in terminology I could understand process at I was in such great pain. The operation was a wonderful success and I am finally out of pain in that Hip. I will have no concerns when I go back to him for my second Hip replacement. I would highly recommend Dr Wek for anyone considering this surgery. Not only will it be the best decision you ever make for your mobility and pain but you will be taken care of by a wonderful surgeon.

I had a right hip replacement operation by Mr Wek as an NHS patient at the Winterbourne Hospital in Dorchester in June 2026. Mr Wek was informative and professional in my contacts with him prior to the operation. He was reassuring when he saw me on the day of the operation both before and after the procedure and my recovery has been excellent. I am now walking without pain for the first time in several years.
