Mr Manoj Sood

Mr Sood is a renowned Specialist hip and knee surgeon who has been in Specialist Consultant Practice since 2004. He deals with all hip and knee issues as well as sports injuries. He treats all lower limb sports injuries and tendon pain, particularly tendinopathies. He also has considerable expertise in knee arthroscopy, ACL reconstruction, cartilage regeneration procedures, and hip and knee replacement (including revision and complex cases).

He is proud to have been awarded both the Top Doctors Certificate of Excellence for his patient ratings in 2020 and 2022, the iWantGreatCare Certificate of Excellence in 2021 and 2022 and The Doctify award for outstanding patient experience in 2024, 2025 and 2026. He has also been recognised by his NHS Trust with the award of 3 Clinical Excellence Awards.

Mr Sood is a firm believer in preserving native joints (joint preservation) by reconstructing joint damage using cartilage regeneration techniques and biological therapies. He is also, however, an expert hip and knee joint replacement surgeon when arthritis is too advanced for joint preservation. His data from the National Joint Registry shows that he has excellent patient outcomes and a very low risk of complications.

Mr Sood has excellent communication skills and provides his patients with jargon-free explanations of their problems. He assesses his patients very carefully and organises specialist scans when needed to arrive at an accurate diagnosis. He only works with a very select team of specialist radiologists to ensure high-quality scan interpretation. After diagnosis, he provides a clear, individualised treatment plan for his patients that considers their individual circumstances and their exercise/activity goals. He offers a wide range of treatment choices suited to each patient, including non-surgical options. His extensive experience allows him to diagnose and treat rarer conditions, and he is often sought out to provide second opinions. In his referral practice, he manages the most complex and challenging cases, such as hip and knee replacements that have failed and must be redone. Mr Sood runs a hip and knee unit at Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and has earned three Clinical Excellence Awards for his work.

Mr Sood treats all lower limb sports injuries in athletes and weekend warriors and also has an interest in the treatment of tendon pain, especially tendinopathies.

Mr Sood graduated from Guys Hospital in 1992 and went on to train at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH), where he became a clinical lecturer in the Professorial Unit. In 2004, he received additional specialist training in hip and knee surgery at two centres of excellence in North America: The Mayo Clinic and Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was mentored by two of the world's best hip and knee surgeons. He has worked in Specialist Consultant Practice since 2004.
