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.

Reviews
Mr Singleton has delivered a confident and thorough service to me from the outset. He has given me realistic and appropriate guidance for surgery and I feel confident that he is most definitely the right person for the job. We have discussed options and I have a plan. I am very happy with the service I have received from Mr Singleton and his team and am looking forward to my surgery and rehab process ahead.
As previously discussed, faultless. Mr Singleton was just fantastic.
After trying unsuccessfully to ignore my nagging knee pain I. Was getting out of the chair when it clicked and remained very painful thereafter. I decided to get a professional opinion and selected Mr James Singleton (James) as he specialised in knees and had extensive experience. Following a scan the issue and damage was clearly explained to me and options offered which James told me to take time to think about. I opted for a relatively new treatment called Arthrosamid which involved a painless injection under a local anaesthetic into the knee and 3 months later have gone from not being able to walk very far to 10,000 steps a day and am looking forward to further improvement in the coming months. I would highly recommend James and if I need the other knee done will certainly be contacting him. Thank you.
Many thanks for taking the time to post such a detailed review and am delighted to have helped improve your knee function.
The whole experience was absolutely five star, I can’t thank everyone enough
James has been very thorough when explaining the procedure and aftercare.
Mr Singleton was very courteous and provided very clear and precis information regarding the issue with my knee.
I came to see Dr Singleton regarding an issue with my knee and he was very helpful and explained everything to me.
Mr Singleton very explanatory, my advise would be to make sure you do the Exercises,and keep your weight under control to keep the weight off your knees. yoga has also helped me.
I felt supported in looking for alternatives to surgery, however when surgery was needed I was confident Mr Singleton would provide an excellent service. My post op experience was much better than I had expected. 6 weeks on and I already know I made the right decision.
Mr Singleton was very clear with explaining what my issue was and what the next steps were.
