About

Professor Justin P Cobb is the head of elective surgery at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and academic orthopaedic surgery at Imperial College London. He is also an advisor to the board of Stanmore Implants, a spinout from UCL, a civilian advisor in orthopaedics to the Royal Air Force, and Orthopaedic Surgeon to Her Majesty the Queen.

As chair and clinical lead of Orthopaedics, Professor Cobb leads a team of surgeons, investigators and educators to train students in surgical skills and the use of IC developed computer-based and robotic technologies to improve outcomes. He has pioneered computer-assisted and robotic surgery for 15 years, with his department at the centre of a revolution in orthopaedics, optimising hip and knee replacement function through accurate and precise 3D positioning. This involved educating surgeons from around the world and performing operations at Charing Cross and a newly opened centre for the analysis of problem metal-on-metal hip replacements.

Professor Cobb studied medicine at Magdalen College Oxford, graduating in 1982. He trained in Oxford, London and Brighton, writing his master's thesis on Prognostic factors in operable osteosarcoma. In 1991 he was appointed consultant orthopaedic surgeon at The Middlesex Hospital.

Professor Cobb has received several awards including the Best Surgical Innovation (Medical Futures Awards), the Hunterian Professorship (Royal College of Surgeons of England) and the Gordon Gordon Taylor Medal, (Royal College of Surgeons). In 2007, Professor Cobb was named one of Britain's 250 best private doctors by Tatler magazine.

On initial consultation Prof Cobb explained exactly what was required. He carried out the procedure, as he had detailed. I am very pleased with the result.

Explanation

Operation went well ( I think ). I was obviously disappointed that the right knee had to be operated on again 6 months after the initial operation . I had hoped that after this 6 operation he would explain in some detail why this time the operation should be successful- which he thought was the case already after the first operation in May 2021

I know that Prof Cobb is an extremely busy man but could possibly have spent just a little more time after the op explaining how the procedure went etc . But maybe less is more!

Professor Cobb went out of his way to accommodate me, not only when I managed to show up late TWICE for my appointments, but also in taking the time to explain the surgery and advise me post-op. I feel privileged to have been his patient and that I got into the clinical trial he is running. I hope my experience benefits other hip patients in future.
