Mr Christopher Thomas is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at The Vale Hospital, part of Nuffield Health, and at St Joseph’s Hospital in Newport. He specialises in primary and revision hip and knee replacement, the management of painful and failing joint replacements, and the assessment and surgical removal of benign musculoskeletal tumours.

Mr Thomas has performed over 150 joint replacements in the last 12 months, with a one-year revision rate of less than 0.5% as recorded in the National Joint Registry. He also has a strong focus on patient-specific implant positioning through custom guides, navigation, and robotics, and is particularly interested in improving peri-operative patient experience and recovery.
He graduated from Nottingham Medical School in 2008 and completed his orthopaedic specialist training in the West Midlands. He subsequently undertook fellowship training in Major Joint Reconstruction in Perth, Western Australia, and at the internationally recognised Exeter Hip Unit. He also holds a postgraduate diploma in Orthopaedic Oncology. Mr Thomas has developed and implemented enhanced recovery and day case joint replacement pathways across multiple hospitals.
He currently holds a consultant post at Princess of Wales Hospital, Royal Glamorgan Hospital, and Neath Port Talbot Hospital.

Mr Chris Thomas is the best surgeon a person could wish for. He explains all aspects of your injury and the required follow up procedure in clear precise terms. All concerns were queried one to one with Chris via email. Response was swift and informative. Surgery experience was relaxed and a pleasure knowing that all my concerns were taken on board and acted on. The whole experience was first class, and the outcome has been life changing. I am now back mountain biking and enjoying life pain free for the first time in over a decade. All this after only 11 weeks post op. I cannot rate Chris Thomas highly enough. Communication and competence goes above and beyond any other surgical experience I have encountered.
Thank you for these kind words. I am delighted to hear that you are back on the bike!
Mr Thomas made me feel very relaxed. He simplified all of the information for me which really helped.I had complete confidence in him. The care he gave me was amazing.
Thank you. I endeavour to make the process as accessible and relatable as possible.
As I previously said my stay at St Joseph's was excellent Mr Thomas was extremely positive and efficient He told me exactly what would happen and after surgery he came to see I was alright
Superb and of the highest professional level one could expect
Always friendly, assuring ,sense of humour, engaging, supportive, professional and caring . Delightful chentleman
Mr Thomas was very welcoming and professional, explained everything in a very clear manner with sympathy and positivity.
Mr Thomas was very friendly and professional and went out of his way to provide me with bilateral hip replacements rather than just do one at a time.
It is always a difficult decision whether to proceed with one or both sides, but I hope that this has given you a new lease of life. Best wishes, Chris
