About Mr Johan Witt

Johan Witt is a specialist in disorders of the hip.

He trained in London, with fellowships in Boston, Sydney and Bern.

He looks after both young and older patients where the spectrum of hip conditions tend to differ.

He has built up a specialist unit at University College London Hospitals looking after young adults with hip conditions with the focus on hip preservation surgery. Examples include hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement and management of labral tears and Periacetabular osteotomy surgery for hip dysplasia. He has developed a minimally invasive approach for this type of surgery allowing more rapid recovery.

He has extensive experience in Hip Replacement Surgery including in very young patients and is an adopter of the Direct Anterior Approach for hip replacement which is a minimally invasive approach which facilitates an easier and quicker recovery.

Main research interests include outcomes of hip preservation procedures, CT analysis of hip deformities, Ceramic on ceramic hip replacement and minimally invasive approaches for hip surgery

Total Hip replacement follow-up appointment. Mr Witt examined my hip and redressed the operated area and he observed my movements. Mr Witt was very polite and welcoming and answered all my questions fully. He was very easy to talk to and gave clear instructions for the next stage of my recovery. He totally put be at ease.

My experience was fantastic, so much better than I could have hoped for. I had zero pain, zero swelling, zero bruising. My recovery has been very easy and I'm now walking all short journeys without crutches (after 6 weeks). I would recommend Mr Johan Witt 100% to anyone who needs a total hip replacement. Not alone is he an amazing surgeon but he has a calm, reassuring manner and an ability to communicate in simple language what the surgery will involve.

When I visited Mr Johan Witt at Fortius Clinic London on two occasions, I found him to be both polite and extremely knowledgeable. When I attended for hip injections in both hips, his experience was clear, and he took great care to ensure I was comfortable and completely pain-free throughout the procedure.

Mr Witt is a fantastic surgeon and clinician - he genuinely cares for the best outcome for his patients. He is also very steady and reassuring - and has a calming presence. I did not hesitate when hip arthroscopy was finally the best option for me. I feel really lucky to have been under such excellent care as my case was not straightforward. Marina

Dr Witt was wonderful. I came to him for a second opinion and I am so glad I did. He caught something very significant that all my previous doctors had missed.
