About Mr James Holton
Mr James Holton is a Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in hip and knee arthroplasty and soft tissue disorders. He holds a substantive consultant position at Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
Mr Holton offers comprehensive management of hip conditions, including primary joint replacement, hip resurfacing, soft tissue (arthroscopic) surgery, and revision arthroplasty for all-cause revisions of the hip. He also performs both partial and total knee replacements, as well as arthroscopic (keyhole) procedures for knee conditions.
He began his surgical training in the West Midlands Deanery (Birmingham) and held an Academic Clinical Fellow (ACF) position with the University of Birmingham, where his research focused on joint preservation using injectable stem cells to enhance chondrocyte growth and development. He went on to complete a Master’s degree in Clinical Research (MRes) before transferring to the Thames Valley Deanery (Oxford) to complete both his academic work and surgical training.
To further refine his specialist expertise in hip and knee surgery, Mr Holton completed a fellowship in lower limb arthroplasty and young adult hip disorders at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading. He subsequently undertook a prestigious fellowship at the world-renowned Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Oxford, a leading centre for the management of complex primary and revision arthroplasty, including infection and periprosthetic fracture management.
