About Mr James Singleton
Mr James Singleton is an experienced Consultant Orthopaedic surgeon with a specialised focus on knee disorders. Fellowship-trained in both trauma surgery and knee surgery, he offers expert care for knee sports injuries, soft tissue issues, and provides comprehensive management for all stages of knee arthritis. His expertise includes joint preservation strategies, osteotomy (knee realignment surgery), and partial and full knee replacement surgeries.
Mr Singleton established his practice at Frimley Park Hospital in 2017, where he provided individualised care for a wide range of knee problems, from sports injuries to arthritis. In 2024, he retired from his NHS role as a trauma and knee surgeon to concentrate exclusively on knee surgery.
With a background as a British Army officer and orthopaedic consultant, Mr Singleton served for 25 years before retiring from his military career in early 2024. He has published research on both civilian and military trauma and has served as an orthopaedic surgeon on operational tours in Afghanistan and the Middle East.
Mr Singleton graduated from University College London Medical School in 2002. He completed his orthopaedic surgical training on the prestigious Southwest Thames rotation in London and Surrey, which included two years of full-time post-doctoral research, earning an MD in Bioengineering from Imperial College London in 2016.
His special interests include knee surgery, ACL reconstruction, knee ligament surgery, knee arthroscopy, meniscal surgery and repair, osteotomy, partial and total knee replacement, patellofemoral replacement, and knee injections such as Arthrosamid® for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis and non-operative management of knee disorders.

It was good to see my x-rays and have them explained in detail, along with all the options available to me to help/resolve my knee issues. Everything we discussed was recorded in detail and sent to me after the appointment, thus avoiding forgetting what the doc said! I can now make a decision with confidence.
Very professional Dr and he leaves you with absolute confidence of the diagnosis
Slight delay in getting however with coffee available that wasn’t an issue. Knee injury and process explained clearly and succinctly.
Follow up appointment post surgery. Clear explanation of surgery and healing process. Answered all questions.
Arrived to a welcoming receptionist who clearly directed me to Mr Singleton’s waiting area. Slight delay waiting for my appointment (15 mins). Dr clearly described potential reasons for my issue, carried out a thorough review of my knee and then offered his solution. The injection processes was faultless, no pain, Dr using scar point for insertion made this pain free. Clearly described the potential issues and how to maintain the insertion site to prevent infection., follow up appointments were discussed and booked during the appointment. It was a pleasure to be looked after by Dr Singleton
My recent visits with Mr James Singleton about my knees and injections was excelent,he is very helpful and informative! He was also very helpful with my MCL!
Great service from start to finish. Mr singleton always explained each step clearly.
I cannot stress how good my experience was seeing Mr Singleton. He was patient, explained everything to me in detail, answering all my questions and giving me confidence that my health was in my hands, with his expertise to help guide. I felt seen, my concerns acknowledged and mitigated, and I came away feeling much happier with where my care was headed.
I had a consultation about a possible total knee replacement which we decided to go ahead with.
Mr Singleton was very professional and pitched the appointment at the right level. I am very happy with the whole process
