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.

An excellent clinician who is very approachable. He explained the process for my total hip replacement very clearly and just two and a half weeks after surgery I am able to walk unaided. Amazing!

Mr Culpan was highly recommended as a specialist to treat my ongoing knee treatment. I felt confident in his diagnosis (arthritis) and treatment advice (steroid and HLA injections) and was very happy with Mr Culpan's management of my concerns and expectations. Happily my knee pain is much reduced allowing me to get moving again. I have no reservations in recommending Mr Culpan, he's a lovely man and knows his stuff.

I found Mr Culpan to be both thorough and caring during the whole process from initial diagnosis to the post procedure appointment. My symptoms and the cure were explained to me clearly and were carried out professionally. Mr Culpan is a great listener and I would highly recommend him to anyone that requires treatment in his area of expertise.

I recently underwent a left knee athroscopy and right hip replacement at the London Clinic with amazing results for both operations! Mr Culpan is a really excellent surgeon, extremely thorough and a most kindly manner. I cannot recommend his skills more highly - plus appreciation of his first class admin team, especially Sam. Thank you all.

I had a brilliant experience with Mr Culpan. I was put at ease from the beginning. He was straightforward, confident and clear in his diagnosis and treatment suggestions, which left me with very clear choices for action. The treatment I decided to have (a full hip replacement) was amazing, and I trusted Mr Culpan's expertise and manner to deal with any potential complications during the surgery with decisiveness and ease. The operation was a complete success and Mr Culpan took the time to see me on at least three occasions while I was recovering in the hospital, which made me feel very cared for at a physically vulnerable time. The operation has given me the ability to do the things that I love again, and I'm very grateful to Mr Culpan for this.

I had immediate confidence in Paul Culpan when I met him. No fuss explanation. Have made super quick recovery. Had operation week I wanted and my recovery is going as well or better than he explained. Admin was also super good.

Explained everything really clearly. I was also aware of exactly what the treatment plan was, and the rationale behind it.

25 Jun 2022Mr Luckshmana Jeyaseelan
Orthopaedic SurgeryPaul is a valued colleague and extremely talented surgeon. He has looked after my patients in an extremely professional manner, and offered procedures that have relieved them from long-standing pain and anguish. Moreover, he recently looked after my father, who had a total hip replacement with him. The attention to detail, surgical acumen, and professionalism he has shown is unparalleled. He has given my father his quality of life back. The operation was exactly what he had planned for with accuracy and individualised attention, and the end result is one that was beyond what we had expected. I trust him to look after my patients and my family with the commitment they all deserve.
