About Mr Douglas Matthews

Mr Douglas Matthews is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in hip and knee surgery, with a particular focus on joint replacement and sports-related knee pathology. He graduated in Medicine from Imperial College London in 2007 and completed higher surgical training on the South West Thames Orthopaedic Training Programme, centred around St George’s Hospital.

During his training, Mr Matthews gained extensive experience at leading specialist centres including the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, Royal Brompton Hospital and University College Hospital, working alongside internationally recognised experts in orthopaedics.

He went on to complete subspecialty fellowships in Sydney, Australia, with a focus on robotic hip and knee arthroplasty and sports knee surgery. He later undertook additional fellowship training at major trauma centres in London, including St Mary’s Hospital and Charing Cross Hospital, further strengthening his expertise in complex trauma and lower limb reconstruction.

Mr Matthews has a specialist interest in soft tissue knee surgery, including anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, meniscal repair, cartilage restoration procedures, and corrective osteotomy surgery. He also performs primary and revision hip and knee replacement surgery, including robotic-assisted joint replacement techniques such as MAKO.

Mr Matthews is a highly professional Consulrant, he took time with me to explain and give all options open to me for future treatment. When he realised I was a very nervous patient regarding having Cortisone Injections Iin my knee ensured I didnt see the needle, got me a nurse for reassurance and even sprayed my knee until ice cold before injectioning.. I would highly recommend him to any patient, time was never an issue, my welfare was..

Very happy with overall care and treatment whilst in hospital. Very pleased with speed of recovery and absence of pain during first weeks after operation. Needed nothing stronger than occasional Paracetamol. Able to drive safely and comfortably three weeks post operation. (Automatic car).

Mr Matthews has carried out full knee replacements on both knees, the most recent at the end of May 2026. I have found Mr Matthews to be understanding with a wonderful bedside manner. Nothing is too much trouble and at no point during my consultations was anything rushed. He listened and explained which was always reassuring. I would recommend Mr Matthews and his services to anyone.
