Mr Gorav Datta

Mr Gorav Datta is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon practising in Hampshire and London, with specialist expertise in knee and hip surgery across both joint-preserving and joint replacement procedures. His practice encompasses the full spectrum of hip and knee care, including arthroscopy, ligament reconstruction, joint replacement, and complex revision surgery.

Mr Datta graduated in medicine from University College London and completed a Doctorate of Medicine (MD) research degree at Imperial College London. He has a strong academic background and remains actively involved in research, with numerous publications in peer-reviewed journals. He has led and contributed to multiple NHS clinical trials and currently serves as Trauma Research Lead at University Hospital Southampton (UHS). Alongside his research commitments, he is heavily involved in teaching, supervising undergraduate medical students and training surgical trainees.

Mr Datta has a specialist interest in soft tissue and joint-preserving surgery of the hip and knee, including hip arthroscopy, femoral head re-sculpting, and advanced arthroscopic techniques for ligament and cartilage injuries. He regularly treats conditions such as ACL injuries, labral tears, hip impingement, hip dysplasia, hip and groin pain, knee instability, and sports-related injuries. He also manages osteoarthritis of the hip and knee, with particular expertise in treating younger patients where joint preservation is a priority.

In addition to conventional surgical approaches, Mr Datta is passionate about innovation in orthopaedics and offers biological and regenerative treatments, including growth factor and PRP injections, for chronic tendinopathies and osteoarthritis. His research interests focus on the use of biological therapies to preserve patients’ native joints and delay or avoid the need for joint replacement where possible.

Mr Datta holds several senior specialist roles at University Hospital Southampton. He is the regional lead for pelvic and acetabular reconstruction, providing a tertiary referral service for complex pelvic and acetabular injuries across Hampshire, Dorset, and Wiltshire. This work frequently involves highly complex hip reconstruction and replacement surgery. He is also the Sarcoma Lead at UHS, assessing patients with suspected primary bone and soft tissue malignancies and managing patients with secondary bone cancers.
