About
Mr Yegappan Kalairajah is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon with a particular interest in fractures and trauma affecting the hip, knee, foot and ankle and sports injuries. He has several years of clinical experience, of which he has performed more than 1000 hp and knee replacements surgeries.
He qualified from Cambridge University in 1995 before undertaking his postgraduate surgical training at King's College Hospital. He then went on to specialise in Orthopaedic Surgery through completing training at St. George's Hospital. Following this, he completed a fellowship and then undertook an advanced training programme with Sportmed.SA in Sports Surgery, Arthroscopy and Arthroplasty in Adelaide, Australia.
He began working as a locum consultant for the Epsom and St. Helier's Hospital NHS Trust and the Elective Orthopaedic Centre (EOC). This Centre contains the largest Arthroplasty unit in Europe and this allowed Mr Kalairajah to become one of the best orthopaedic surgeons whilst he completed his 18 month tenure on the unit. He was then appointed the title of Consultant at the Luton and Dunstable University Hospital. He also remains as Honorary Consultant within the EOC unit.
Mr Kalairajah also enjoys teaching and carrying out research. He is an examiner for the UCL medical exams and also teaches orthopaedic courses both nationally and internationally.

I have been seeing Mr Kalairajah for the last two years. He has always understood and listened to my challenges. He clearly explains everything and ensures I understand. He is very personable and has made me feel comfortable through every procedure. The highest compliment I believe is to be able to recommend to a friend and I have already done this. It's early days in my recovery but I'm hoping that my hip replacement will give me a new lease of life for which I'm very grateful - thank you!

From my inilial appointment with Mr Kalairajah he examined my knee,arranged X Rays and Scans explained absolutely everything to me ,what was wrong ,what I could do to help myself and what he could do if I opted for a surgical fix after which I now know how everything went and what to expect in the future. My experience with Mr Kalairajah was nothing short of exellent.
