About

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.

I had trochanteric bursitis, tightness in ITB (ilio tibial band) and a bone spur plus inflammation. I was in pain for a long time. Injections and physio didn't seem to work and over time it was decided that surgery be the best option. I had surgery with Mr Culpan and 6 weeks after it I feel so much better and am moving and walking so much better and the chronic pain has gone to a mere recovery sensitivity. Am thrilled with the result.

Outstanding Care from Mr Culpan: My Torn Hamstring Journey If you're facing a torn hamstring, I can confidently say you're in good hands with Mr Culpan. From the moment I met him, I was impressed by his calming presence and genuine concern for my well-being. His explanation of the surgery and potential risks was thorough and clear. He managed my expectations effectively, emphasising the long recovery journey ahead, while simultaneously offering unwavering reassurance. This factual yet optimistic approach truly resonated with me. The surgery itself was a success, and my recovery has been exceeding expectations. Just two weeks in, my leg already feels significantly better than pre-surgery. I have full confidence in Mr Culpan's surgical skills and expertise. He developed a detailed physiotherapy plan in conjunction with my physio, ensuring seamless continuity in my recovery journey. This collaborative approach demonstrates his dedication to his patients' overall well-being. In Summary, Mr Culpan is an exceptional doctor – a trustworthy, experienced, and skilled surgeon. His kind bedside manner, clear communication, and commitment to collaborative care make him a standout. I highly recommend seeking his expertise if you're facing a similar predicament.
