Nicholas Bottomley is a specialist orthopaedic knee surgeon whose practice covers the full spectrum of paediatric and adult knee conditions.
He works at the internationally recognised Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, part of Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, as well as at the Manor Hospital. He graduated from Imperial College Medical School in 2001, and also holds a first-class honours degree in Orthopaedics from University College London. He later completed a DPhil (PhD) at the University of Oxford, focusing on research into the progression of early knee arthritis.
To further develop his expertise, Mr Bottomley undertook advanced training in sports knee injuries in Brisbane, Australia, where he worked with a specialist surgical team caring for professional rugby union and rugby league athletes.
His clinical interests include the management of sports injuries—such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, multi-ligament injuries, and meniscal repair—as well as the treatment of knee pain and arthritis, particularly in its early stages. He also specialises in knee replacement surgery, offering both partial and total knee replacements, and has expertise in managing patellofemoral (kneecap) instability.
Alongside his clinical work, Mr Bottomley is actively involved in orthopaedic research, contributing to national studies, and regularly teaches and lectures internationally, particularly on partial knee replacement techniques.

Dr Bottomley supported me after I tore my ACL and meniscus playing football in late February. We discussed my options in March and I was booked in for surgery in May. Everything was explained clearly throughout the whole process, which really helped put me at ease going into surgery. Dr Bottomley came to see me the following morning and both follow-up appointments since have been equally helpful and reassuring. Less than five months after surgery, I’m back playing golf, regularly using the Peloton and starting a gradual return to running. I’ve been really pleased with the care and support throughout and would highly recommend Dr Bottomley.
Having approached my knee replacement operation with some trepidation, the procedure was performed professionally and seamlessly. However, I did not fully anticipate the extreme pain and resultant lack of sleep which followed. Nevertheless, some four months after the procedure the pain has gone, and my mobility has improved enormously. I believe this experience is common. Mr. Bottomley, who is a very pleasant and reassuring person, performed the procedure very competently and the scar on my knee is minimal. I would recommend him.
Mr Bottomley has been extremely caring and understanding from the outset. He has thoroughly explained any medical issues that presented and offered great advice and support .
13year old daughter ski injury was dealt with care and consideration. From initial consultation through to surgery Dr Bottomley was clear and supportive throughout
I recently had both knees replaced by Mr Bottomley and his team and have to say that I can't fault anything from the initial consultation to my final visit with him today. The whole procedure was explained to me in detail . Such a pleasant man who put me at ease from the start. A major improvement to both my knees already and I am so happy with the outcome. I cannot thank him enough ( and can I give a big shout out to the people who kindly recommended him ). 1st class all round. Thank you.
Mr Bottomley's manner was pleasant as always. My questions were answeredin a clear concise way as they had been on my previous two appointments with him.
We used Chap GPT to review all the consultants offered by Aviva and Mr Bottomley was the most highly recommended consultant and lived fully up-to the data provided and I have been really really happy with my progress and recovery. I would recommend mr Bottomley to anyone who needs knee surgery
Most recent visit was a checkup a year post-operation. Throughout the whole year-long process, Nick and the team were professional, reassuring, and clear in their communication.
Walking with noticeable limp, uncomfortable knee pain, especially walking downhill, uncertainty putting weight on left leg, soreness after sitting down for extended period of time. Nick explained the results of the x-ray and MRI scan very helpfully, predominantly arthritic knee that would ultimately need a knee replacement but not there yet given the experiences I described.
