About Mr Viju Peter

Mr. Viju Peter is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at the Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust specialising in treating patients with hip and knee problems. His particular area of focus is Hip and Knee replacement surgery, hip problems in the young adult and joint preserving procedures.

Mr. Peter specialises in hip replacement surgery, knee replacement surgery, revision hip replacement surgery, hip arthroscopy and knee arthroscopy.

After completing his Higher Surgical training in the Mersey rotation and fellowship training at Wrightington Hospital and The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital [Birmingham], he was appointed as consultant orthopaedic surgeon at the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals in 2008.

He enjoys helping young patients manage their arthritis, improving outcomes after revision surgery for failed joint replacements and investigating high performance bearing surfaces for joint replacements. Over the years he has gained extensive experience in complex primary hip replacements, joint replacements in young patients and revising failed hip replacements.

More recently, he set up an Arthroplasty Service at Alderhey Children's Hospital with transitional clinics between Alderhey and Broadgreen, which provides a seamless patient care for children and young adults. He performed the first hip replacement in the hospital's history at Alderhey in September 2019.

It is important to preserve the native joint whenever possible. Hip arthroscopy and joint preservation techniques are procedures he is skilled in. He has been performing hip arthroscopy for many years and is the only surgeon in Liverpool who is experienced in doing this procedure.

In addition to his clinical practice, he has a genuine interest in research with publications in many reputed journals and presentations and invited lectures at national and international meetings and conferences.

Mr. Peter is the Infection Control lead and the NJR lead for the Orthopaedic Department and a member of the British Orthopaedic Association, British Hip Society, British Association for Surgery of the Knee and the British Medical Association

In his free time he enjoys travelling and playing cricket and badminton.

His philosophy in life is "whatever you do, do it the best you can."

At the start the service by the Spire staff confirming the date of the operation was a bit frustrating. I had to chase for the actual date in the end. I was also unclear on the type of anaesthetic I was going to receive. I asked at the meeting with the support anethatist to have a general anaesthetic but he could not confirm it and suggested the anethatist on the day will decide what type. I didn’t want to be awake for this operation and chased a number of times before the operation but didn’t receive a clear answer. This left me feeling anxious before the operation date. It was only on the day of the operation when I met Mr Parikh that he put me at ease and said I can have general anaesthetic. Mr Parikh was a lovely man and I have had him before for a previous operation so I was very relieved on the day of the operation to see his welcoming face. Mr Peter has been very professional in every meeting with him personally and he performed the most amazing operation on my right hip. My life has been transformed. The scar is so neat and small for such a big operation I was so pleased with the outcome overall. A big thank you Mr Peter and for your supporting team who looked after me on the day and post op.

I had a hip replacement a year ago and my experience was nothing but positive. Everyone made me feel at ease, in all areas of the hospital. In all the care procedures that were needed I was provided with the best treatment. Zero complaints from my experience.

My experience with Mr Peter and the team at Spire Liverpool has been excellent. Three weeks after my left knee arthroscopy, including partial medial and lateral meniscectomy and chondroplasty, I am extremely pleased with the outcome so far. Mr Peter was professional, reassuring and clear throughout the process, taking the time to explain the procedure and expected recovery carefully. The care I received from the entire team was outstanding, from admission through to discharge, and my recovery has progressed as described. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Peter and Spire Liverpool to anyone considering knee surgery.
