About Prof. Arul Ramasamy

Professor Arul Ramasamy is a Consultant Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Surgeon based in Milton Keynes, Northampton, and Banbury. His practice is exclusively dedicated to foot and ankle surgery, and his patient-centred, research-driven approach means every treatment plan is focused on the individual needs and outcomes of each patient. He sees over 750 patients each year with a wide range of foot and ankle conditions.

Professor Ramasamy studied Medicine at Trinity Hall, University of Cambridge before completing Basic Surgical Training in Newcastle. He attended the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst for Officer Training and has over 25 years of experience as a serving British Army officer. He undertook a PhD in Bioengineering at Imperial College London from 2008 to 2012, during which time he completed a thesis on foot and ankle combat injuries which led to the development of new technology to reduce blast injuries. He commenced Higher Surgical Training in Orthopaedics and Trauma on the Birmingham Rotation in 2011 and is triple fellowship trained (Royal Orthopaedic Hospital Birmingham — Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre Oxford — Fortius Clinic London), including the only UK-based Sports Foot and Ankle Fellowship which almost exclusively managed Professional Athletes. In June 2025, he was awarded an MBA with Distinction from the University of Staffordshire, reflecting his commitment to healthcare leadership and management in addition to his clinical and academic roles.

Throughout his career, Professor Ramasamy has gained extensive experience in the management of high-level athletes and in managing complex foot and ankle injuries in military personnel, facilitating swift return to activity. He currently serves as an Army Orthopaedic Surgeon (Colonel) with operational experience in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Africa.

In addition to his clinical practice, Professor Ramasamy has a strong academic profile, with over 100 peer-reviewed papers and book chapters. He works at Imperial College London as Clinical Lead for the Centre for Injury Studies and Visiting Professor in the Department of Bioengineering, supervising PhD students in stem cell research and reducing disability from complex foot and ankle trauma. He was appointed Defence Professor of Trauma and Orthopaedics by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburghin 2023, and is Head of the Academic Department of Military Trauma and Orthopaedics. He is the proud recipient of the ABC (American-British-Canadian) Travelling Fellowship by the British Orthopaedic Association and is winner of over 20 prizes and over £5.3 million in grants relating to his research.

Professor Ramasamy strongly believes that to achieve the best possible outcomes for patients, it involves engaging them in the decision-making process and utilising non-operative techniques where possible. Should surgery be required, he believes that the best results come from meticulous planning and precise execution. He works closely with all his patients to develop a treatment plan tailored to their needs and requirements, helping them return to their normal level of fitness as soon as possible.

This was my second time seeing Prof. Arul Ramasamy, and I must say, he really knows what he is talking about! I went to see him after a netball injury, and as soon as he examined my foot, he knew exactly what he was looking for. He sent me for an MRI, and the results showed exactly what he had suspected. He is very professional, calm, and reassuring, which immediately puts you at ease. He listens carefully, explains everything clearly, and makes you feel confident that you are in good hands. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring doctor.

Professor Arul, was warm and welcoming, I didn’t think I was a burden and he explained what I did and how I needed to do to get back to optimal health. I am passionate about Netball and I was also encouraged to do some strength training for weight loss. Very happy with the service and support I received

It was personally encouraging to see Prof Ramasamy’s reaction to the progress I had made since week six post surgery. He helpfully struck a balance between maintaining positivity and remaining realistic about the longer-term recovery and rehabilitation efforts. I have greatly appreciated the care throughout treatment. Prof Ramasamy has been entirely transparent about the nature of the surgery, the expected outcomes, and the limitations I would need to manage during recovery. His bedside manner has been exemplary - warm, empathetic and attentive. He took the time to understand the wider context of my situation and I felt that he has always been patient and genuinely focused in achieving the best possible outcome. I am delighted with the results so far and appreciate this should improve further. I am grateful for both his professionalism and expertise throughout.

From my first consultation to the last, Professor Ramasamy has provided me with outstanding care. He is friendly and put me at ease immediately. He thoroughly discussed all the potential options for my treatment enabling me to make a very well informed decision. As a result I had less invasive treatment and a very speedy recovery to full fitness. I was given clear guidance for aftercare and I experienced no pain. I had an amputation of the 2nd toe. (previously, every step had been painful and despite being relatively young and fit I was in constant pain) Being pain free was my objective but the neatness of the wound site and tiny scar has left me feeling very confident to go bare foot or wear sandals. I really could not have wished for a better outcome.

I recently underwent ankle surgery in Milton Keynes Saxton clinic under the care of Professor Arul Ramasamy, and I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding experience. From the start, Professor Ramasamy was exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and reassuring. He took the time to discuss every detail of the procedure, ensuring I knew exactly what to expect and completely putting my mind at ease. What stood out above everything else was his ultimate professionalism and the genuine passion he has for his work. I have since had my follow-up appointment with him, and I can confidently say his work is absolutely top-level and his aftercare is second to none. I felt entirely safe, valued, and well looked after throughout the whole process. I highly recommend Professor Ramasamy to anyone looking for expert, compassionate care
