About Mr Odei Shannak

Hello, I’m Mr. Odei Shannak,

I am a Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon at Northampton General Hospital and Three Shires Hospital, specialising in hip and knee surgery. My practice focuses on:

  • Hip and knee replacements
  • Revision surgery for hip and knee replacements
  • Arthroscopic (keyhole) knee surgery
  • Complex lower limb trauma involving the hip and knee

I qualified in 2003 and completed my surgical training in Yorkshire and the East Midlands. In 2016 I became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England (FRCS Tr&Orth). Alongside this, I undertook a post-graduate degree in Health Research at the University of Leeds, which strengthened my commitment to evidence-based medicine and high-quality outcomes.

As part of my specialist training, I gained extensive experience in complex hip and knee revision surgery and major lower limb trauma during fellowships at Nottingham University Hospitals and the Royal London Hospital. This training gave me advanced skills in managing some of the most challenging cases, which now form a key part of my practice.

In my work, I use surgical implants with proven long-term results and the latest anaesthetic, pain relief, and minimally invasive techniques. This approach supports enhanced recovery, early mobilisation, and excellent functional outcomes.

My surgical results are carefully monitored through the National Joint Registry (NJR), where my outcomes are better than the national average. Patients also give consistently excellent feedback, reflected in my 5 out of 5 Doctify rating, often highlighting clear communication, a supportive approach, and excellent outcomes.

I am a member of:

  • Royal College of Surgeons of England (RCSEng)
  • British Orthopaedic Association (BOA)
  • British Hip Society (BHS)
  • British Association for Surgery of the Knee (BASK)

Through these professional societies, I regularly attend training courses, conferences, and clinical meetings. This ensures I remain fully up to date with the latest evidence, techniques, and best practice guidelines, so my patients benefit from the highest standard of modern orthopaedic care.

My focus is simple: safe care, excellent results, and a positive patient experience. For me, surgery is not just about replacing a joint, it’s about restoring confidence, independence, and quality of life.

Here is a summary of my experience with Mr Shannak regarding my recent hip replacement surgery on 21 April 2026. Having managed my deteriorating original hip replacements for a number of years, I am deeply appreciative of the professionalism and diligence you have consistently shown. I am conscious of the case-load challenges persistently facing our NHS. He consistently engaged with me, explaining in clear detail my surveillance test results and the risks involved. ​Heading into this operation, I was naturally anxious, being fully aware of the inherent risks involved. However, the clarity with which you explained the mechanics of the procedure and the construction of the new joints was invaluable. As an engineer, I truly valued your technical transparency; it addressed all my concerns and allowed me to approach the surgery with confidence. ​I would also like to commend his wider surgical and medical teams. Their skill and professionalism throughout the process were outstanding. The entire experience—from the preoperative discussions to the surgical procedure itself—was exemplary. ​Most importantly, I am relieved to report that I am now free from the excruciating pain I was previously experiencing. I am currently working with the physiotherapy team to focus on muscle strengthening, and I am very pleased with the results delivered by your team. ​I can't thank him, and his NGH colleagues enough for their expertise and for their life-improving care of me. Thank you Odei
