About Mr Michael Brown

Mr Michael Brown is a specialist orthopaedic knee surgeon based in Glasgow, with particular expertise in ligament injuries, sports knee surgery, and both partial and total knee replacement, including robotic-arm assisted surgery using the MAKO system. He also has expertise in patellofemoral (kneecap) instability.

He studied medicine at the University of Glasgow, graduating in 2011, and completed his orthopaedic surgical training in the West of Scotland before undertaking fellowship training in Perth and at OrthoSport Victoria in Melbourne, Australia. He became a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow in 2020.

Mr Brown practises within the NHS at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Glasgow, and privately at Nuffield Health Glasgow Hospital. He takes a patient-centred approach, prioritising shared decision-making to help patients understand their treatment options and reach the outcome that's right for them.

His private practice covers the full range of knee surgery, including:

  • Partial and total knee replacement (including MAKO robotic-arm assisted surgery)
  • ACL reconstruction and other ligament reconstruction
  • Knee arthroscopy for meniscal tears and cartilage injuries
  • Osteotomy for knee realignment and joint preservation
  • Patellar (kneecap) stabilisation surgery for instability and dislocation

Mr Brown has a particular special interest in arthroscopic soft tissue reconstruction of the knee, and in joint preservation techniques for younger, active patients wishing to delay or avoid joint replacement.

Had an initial consultation due to severe pain in my left knee. Mr Brown was polite, friendly and very reassuring re my options. I started with the first option, that being steroid injection into my knee, unfortunately this did not work for me. The next step was imaging and a further appointment with Mr Brown. The option left available was a full left knee replacement which i opted for. My operation could have been scheduled within three weeks but i chose 2 months to get in best shape i could. I am 59yrs of age, retired and active. i went to private Pilates classes, built up the muscles round my knee which made recovery easier, albeit the recovery is challenging and painful. I did my exercises provided by physio, was mobile, trusted the recovery process and within 6 weeks i was free of my crutches. A 6 week post op appointment with Mr Brown confirming that all was in order, we discussed the recovery, my knee and leg was examined and i was shown my post op X-rays which was reassuring. I would highly recommend Mr Brown with no hesitation. He is grounded, polite and very approachable. So relieved i did my homework and that i chose Mr Brown.

Mr Brown was very professional and friendly from initial consultation to the operation itself and with the post operative care he provided. He had an easy going friendly manner that put both me and my wife at ease. He was happy to answer any questions or concerns we had prior to the operation and gave us confidence that all would go well. The total knee replacement surgery has been a complete success and I am now totally pain free & more mobile than I have been for a long time. I would like to thank Michael & the team of doctors, nurses, physios & other staff at The Nuffield fot their excellent care throughout.

This was a second visit to discuss treatment options for my knee. He clearly and carefully explained what the pros and cons were in relation to a partial or full knee replacement . Explaining the merits of both including any risks. He was very reassuring and knowledgable. I had read up on it before my visit and asked several questions which he answered fully . He has a very nice way with him and is easy to talk to. Professional but very approachable. I felt that my treatment plan was a joint decision and he gave me plenty of opportunity to express my views. I left feeling very reassured and with a realistic view of the treatment

I saw Mr Brown about an ongoing knee problem that was affecting my running. He was really helpful throughout, explained everything clearly and arranged an MRI to find out exactly what was going on. He talked me through the results and what I should do next, and was also very quick to reply when I had a couple of questions afterwards. Really pleased with the whole experience and would definitely recommend him…
