Mr Andrew Shepherd

• Expert in Mako Robotic Assisted surgery  - I have performed the most robotic assisted joint replacements at the Warwickshire Nuffield Hospital.
• Experienced surgeon - I have over 25 years of surgical experience and thousands of satisfied joint replacement patients on the National Joint Registry. I perform approximately three times more joint replacements than the average surgeon per year. 
• Low complication rates - My revision rate and mortality figures are lower than the national average.
• Orthopaedic Trainer of the Year 2025 in Warwickshire - Voted the best consultant trainer of the next generation of orthopaedic surgeons across all hospitals and specialities in the Warwickshire Deanery.
• Recognition by the Dr Foster Guide - Warwick Hospital was named one of the best units in the country for hip replacement surgery.

I was born and bred in the Midlands and have returned to work as a consultant orthopaedic surgeon in Warwickshire after extensive training in the UK and abroad.

I graduated from Bristol Medical School in 1998 having also spent time studying in Strasbourg at the University of Louis Pasteur and at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town.  I completed my basic surgical training at Bristol Royal Infirmary including six months working at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, Australia.  I worked with the Exeter Hip Team as part of my higher surgical training.  I was awarded the Cutner Travelling Fellowship from the Royal College of Surgeons in 2008 to undertake a fellowship in complex hip and knee surgery in Canada before returning to Warwick.

My main interests are in the treatment of complex hip and knee problems.  I am an expert in minimally invasive surgery and in treating active patients who wish to recover quickly from surgery.

I specialise in

• Robotic Assisted Hip and Knee Replacements – Expert in using the Mako Robot.
• Hip Surgery - Including minimally invasive surgery, primary hip replacements (cemented and uncemented), and complex revision surgery.
• Knee Replacement Surgery
• Trauma Surgery - particularly fractures around joint replacements.
