About Mr Philip Sauve

Mr Philip Sauvé is a UK fellowship trained consultant trauma and orthopaedic surgeon who specialises in providing quality treatment of hand and wrist problems. He consults patients privately at the Spire Portsmouth Hospital. Mr Sauvé is also a NHS consultant and clinical director for trauma and orthopaedic surgery at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth.

During your consultation, Mr Sauvé will assess you and arrange further investigations such as imaging, if required. This can often be done at the same clinic visit. He will discuss your condition with you and help guide you to the best treatment options tailored to your individual requirements.

Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may be conservative in the form of advice, splints or hand therapy or require intervention such as injections or surgery.

Mr Sauvé undertakes up to date, evidence based, hand and wrist surgery including:

  • Carpal tunnel injections and releases (open and endoscopic)
  • Trigger finger injections and releases (minimally invasive releases by radiology)
  • Surgery for small joint arthritis of the hand and wrist (including injections, joint replacements and fusions)
  • Dupuytren’s contracture treatment (minimally invasive needle aponeurotomy and traditional fasciectomy surgery)
  • Keyhole surgery of the wrist (arthroscopy)
  • General hand and wrist trauma including distal radius, scaphoid and finger fractures


Mr Sauvé qualified from St Mary’s Hospital Medical School at Imperial College in 1998 before completing higher surgical training in Wessex and undertaking hand surgery fellowships at the Pulvdertaft Hand Centre in Derby and The Hand Unit, Chelsea and Westmister Hospital, London. Mr Sauvé is actively involved in research and teaching. He has published work in peer reviewed international journals and has presented this work at national and international scientific meetings. 

Outside of work you will find Mr Sauvé encouraging his boys playing rugby or walking his noisy miniature dachshund.

I had an exceptionally positive experience with Philip. He carried out a Fasciectomy for Dupuytren’s contracture on my left hand. Care was outstanding from start to finish with clear communication throughout. Philip’s professionalism was second to none and the outcome of the surgery was extremely successful. I’m incredibly grateful for all of his hard work.

Mr Sauvé explained my wrist situation in the most understandable way. He explained all the treatment possibilities available for me now. He was the first person in 4 years to say that I should not have an operation right now and to wait for a little longer. I was dreading this operation and I didn't feel I should have it done now. I have 3 other needed operations, I went into them with no hesitation and no regret. Not this time. Mr Sauve was very honest, very pleasant, and that made me feel comfortable to ask all my questions. No pressure at all. He listened to me and put my mind at ease. I am very happy I went to see him. I would recommend Mr Suave 200% for a honest advice.

Mr Sauve made what could have been a nervous and horrible experience, into a calm and relaxed experience. I was given all the information that I needed, ensuring that I stood each step and what was going to happen. Altogether, the best experience I have ever had in regards to a hospital visit/surgery.
