About

Professor Richard Field is a consultant orthopaedic surgeon who specialises in hip-related issues. He is the UK's most experienced surgeon in direct anterior hip replacement and has used this minimally invasive, muscle-sparing technique for more than 3000 patients. He uses both the standard longitudinal and the less visible bikini incisions as needed. Prof. Field has extensive experience in complex sports and developmental hip problems, and he is regarded as a world leader in hip preservation and rapid recovery hip replacement surgery. He lectures internationally and performs more than 200 hip operations each year. He has also previously worked as an advisor for the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence.

Prof. Field undertook his medical training at Westminster Hospital in 1980 before working at a number of London hospitals, including The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital and University College Hospital. He went on to complete a PhD at Cambridge University and undertook specialist orthopaedic training in the UK and Australia. He is a professor of Orthopaedic surgery at St George's University of London and was director of research at the South West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre (SWLEOC) from 2004-21. His private practice is primarily at The Lister Hospital in Chelsea.

Prof. Field is a pioneer of arthroscopic hip surgery and has undertaken hip resurfacing since 1995. He served as the president of the International Society for Hip Arthroscopy, 2016-17, and has been involved in the design and evaluation of novel implant designs since 1983. He is currently conducting clinical research on short femoral stem implants as well as some of the newer hip resurfacing designs. Where appropriate, he uses robotic-assisted surgery to achieve optimal component alignment. (Patients who want to be considered for novel implant studies may need to be treated at SWLEOC).

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
