About Mr Stuart Bell

Mr Stuart Bell is a Specialist Orthopaedic Consultant Knee Surgeon based at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, where he works full time in knee surgery. He is UK trained in orthopaedics, having completed his surgical training in Glasgow and Edinburgh, and has also undertaken internationally recognised fellowship training in knee surgery.

His advanced knee fellowship training included work at the Epworth Hospital with the OrthoSports Victoria clinic under Professor Julian Feller, as well as a UK-based knee fellowship with Professor Nick London. He also completed the Edinburgh Trauma Fellowship, further broadening his expertise in complex orthopaedic and sports-related injuries.

Mr Bell has extensive experience in both degenerative and sports-related knee conditions. His NHS practice includes regular operating lists for total and unicompartmental knee replacements for osteoarthritis, as well as arthroscopic (keyhole) knee surgery and ligament reconstruction procedures for sports injuries. He also runs weekly clinics and operating sessions at Nuffield Health Glasgow Hospital.

His clinical interests include knee replacement surgery, cartilage injuries, ligament reconstruction, and minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques. He takes a patient-focused and holistic approach to treatment, aiming to provide effective and individualised solutions tailored to each patient’s needs and lifestyle.

Alongside his clinical work, Mr Bell has an active academic and research profile. He has authored several peer-reviewed publications in leading orthopaedic journals, including randomised controlled trials on unicompartmental knee replacement and systematic reviews relating to cartilage restoration and ligament reconstruction surgery. He has also contributed a book chapter on the treatment of cartilage injuries of the knee.

Mr Bell took the time to understand my situation and explain clearly what my options would be and helped me land on the best option for me relatively quickly in our discussion. Given my experience previously where I was left confused and anxious about my situation then Mr Bell's approach was greatly appreciated.

I had an excellent experience from initial consultation through to surgery at Glasgow Nuffield Hospital. Stuart Bell was professional, easy to discuss the problem with and thorough in his examination and explanation both pre and post surgery. I found the nursing staff very attentive and the physiotherapy service was excellent. The knee surgery provided me with a resolution to the problem and therefore was a great choice for me. I would not hesitate to recommend Stuart Bell and Glasgow Nuffield Hospital.

Dr Bell oversaw my recovery following a serious knee injury with his care extending over approximately 18 months. From the pre-operative stage through to post-operative rehabilitation, he was consistently clear, thorough, and supportive in both his assessments and guidance. I felt very well informed and reassured throughout my treatment and I am extremely grateful to have been under his care.

We agreed a plan that took my clinical and work situation into account and my knee is doing great since my surgery.

I felt as if I was in good hands from the first consultation to the last. Both my recent surgeries were very successful and I now have a new lease of life.
