Mr Raj Sahemey

Mr Raj Sahemey is a Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in hip and knee problems, including arthritis, joint replacement and complex “re-do” (revision) surgery. He has particular expertise in treating failed or problematic hip and knee replacements, including cases involving infection, fractures and bone loss, and is committed to helping patients regain mobility, reduce pain and return to the activities that matter to them.

Mr Sahemey qualified with Distinction from Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry in 2013. He went on to complete highly competitive specialist orthopaedic training in the West Midlands, gaining extensive experience in both routine and complex hip and knee surgery. Alongside his clinical practice, he is actively involved in research, regularly publishing in peer-reviewed journals and presenting his work at national and international conferences.

He looks after a comprehensive range of patients, from those with early arthritis through to people with advanced or long-standing joint disease. For early arthritis, he often recommends less invasive treatments such as joint injections or keyhole (arthroscopic) surgery to help manage symptoms and delay the need for joint replacement. For patients with confirmed, symptomatic arthritis, he offers hip and knee replacement surgery tailored to their individual needs. He also frequently manages complex cases where patients have difficult anatomy or severe bone loss, using specialised implants or custom-made prostheses to achieve the best possible outcome.

A significant part of his practice is devoted to revision (re-do) surgery for failed or problematic joint replacements, including wear and loosening of implants, dislocations, fractures around the implant and infections. Many of these patients have been struggling for some time, and are referred to him because of his experience in dealing with challenging cases and providing clear, honest guidance about the options available.

Patients often describe Mr Sahemey as holistic in his approach, treating the person rather than just the joint. He is known as a good listener who takes time to understand each patient’s goals and concerns, and is open and honest when discussing the potential benefits and risks of different treatments. His patients value his knowledge, calm manner and the way he supports them through complex and sometimes difficult decision-making with care and compassion.
