About Mr Robert Lofthouse

Clinical Interests:

Mr Lofthouse moved to Torquay in 2002 and took up his post as Consultant in Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery at Torbay Hospital. He specialises in total hip and knee replacement surgery, including primary, complex and revision operations and surgery for fractures around existing replacements. Mr Lofthouse also specialises in hip conditions in teenagers and younger adults such as hip impingement, and performs keyhole surgery on the hip and knee, as well as doing Birmingham hip resurfacing and modern ceramic joints which are perhaps more suited to this younger population.Mr Lofthouse is active in bringing innovations such as computer-aided surgery and patient-specific joint replacements to local hospitals, but also finds time to make annual trips to Kenya where he leads an Orthopaedic mission from Torbay.
