About Mr Paul Culpan

Mr Culpan, Trauma and Orthopaedic surgeon works for The Royal London Hospital, one of the largest trauma centres in Europe. His areas of specialisation include hip and knee replacements, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, complex hip reconstruction, arthroscopic knee surgery, and revision hip replacements. Within his speciality, he is one of a few doctors globally that perform customised hip replacements with minimally invasive techniques.

In 1996 Mr Culpan graduated from the University of Manchester with a bachelor's in both medicine and surgery. Following that he began his basic surgical training, performing surgical rotations at both Bart's and Royal London. He completed his higher surgical training in Trauma and orthopaedic surgery at University College London. Later on, in 2005, he was awarded a fellowship from the Royal College of Surgeons and completed his training in 2007.

Following the completion of his fellowship, Mr Culpan undertook an additional year-long fellowship under the well renowned Orthopaedic surgeon Prof Judet in France. After finishing this final fellowship he then went on to be a consultant in Abu Dhabi, returning to the UK in 2010 to work within the Bart's Health Trust. Mr Culpan during his career has also had a keen interest in research and has an excellent publication history.

Currently, Mr Culpan works as a senior consultant for Royal London Hospital in which he takes on additional teaching roles. He also works alongside that in central London on his private practice where patients from around the world seek him out due to his expertise. He remains a highly prevalent and active surgeon within his field with a specific interest in custom hip and knee replacements (CT planned), pelvic and acetabular trauma, revision, and complex arthroplasty. Recently, he has developed a keen interest in osteointegration and rehabilitation.

Paul Culpan recently replaced my right Hip, which I have been dreading for a couple of years I was in absolute agony prior to the operation now I’m pleased to say six weeks after the operation I’m back driving working out in the gym cycling swimming with no pain. So therefore I cannot praise Mr. Culpan highly enough If you need a new Hip please get it done ASAP Mr. Culpan is your man 10 out of 10.

I visited Mr Culpan today, about 4-5 months after my knee replacement surgery. I have seen rapid progress to regaining a knee that works as it should. The advice he gave me has been excellent both before and after surgery. I am now pretty well back to my normal activity: moving easiliy around a four-storey house, cycling, gardening and exercise.

Was recommended to Paul Culpan by my back surgeon who suspected I had a hip issue. He was very professional and engaging when we met soon after. Tests were organised quickly and after follow up appointments, treatment was agreed and planned very efficiently to be done at The London Clinic.

Your trust is our top concern, so providers can't pay to alter or remove reviews.
