About
Mr Krishnan is a Specialist Orthopaedic Surgeon based in the North East of England who exclusively performs hip and knee surgery with particular interest in joint replacement. The ethos of his practice is to provide high quality, patient-centred care whilst tailoring the treatment to individual patient, based on best available evidence. This may include surgical and non surgical treatment.
Mr Krishnan completed his basic surgical training in East Anglia and the Midlands, before moving to the North East for his specialist training in orthopaedics and trauma. He completed two fellowships working with eminent surgeons in distinguished centres of excellence. The first fellowship was in Auckland, New Zealand pioneering in hip & knee replacement and revision hip & knee replacement. The second fellowship was in Bristol, UK to further cement his joint replacement experience and specialising in pelvic reconstructive surgery.
He took up his consultant post in Sunderland Royal Hospital in January 2011 and his main interest is performing hip & knee replacement surgery. His other interests include revision hip and knee replacement surgery and management of pelvis and complex lower limb fractures.
His 10 year results published by National Joint Registry, UK (NJR 2021, NJR 2022 and NJR 2023) shows that his results are amongst the best performing surgeons in the country for successful outcomes and revision rate (re-operation rate) following total hip and total knee replacements.
Whilst no surgical intervention can guarantee a desired outcome every time, he is pleased to share his most recent Patient Related Outcome Measure (PROMs) data published by NJR UK which shows vast majority of his patients were very satisfied with their outcome.
He offers private consultation and performs private operations in Spire Washington Hospital. His clinic days are on Monday afternoon, Wednesday afternoon and Friday Evening.
