About

As the senior knee surgeon in Milton Keynes , and the only surgeon in the area able to offer all the surgical options for knee arthritis, Mr Julian Flynn has over 21 years of experience as a consultant, and specialises in minimally invasive partial knee replacements, total knee replacements, knee ligament reconstructions, sporting knee injuries and hip arthritis.

Up to 40-50 % of patients with knee arthritis do NOT need a total knee replacement, and can be suitable for a partial replacement, with smaller scars , quicker recovery and improved function over TKR. Patients should ensure that they are seeing someone that can offer all options in managing their symptoms. With some of the best results in the country for outcomes after all types of knee replacements, Mr Flynn currently works at Milton Keynes University Hospital and The BMI Saxon Clinic, seeing patients with all types of lower limb pain, injuries, and arthritis. He is known for his honest, transparent, and compassionate approach while delivering excellent results.

His expertise covers all areas of knee surgery, including:

  • Arthroscopic and minimally invasive techniques,
  • Managing arthritis in younger patients to delay or avoid joint replacement
  • Primary and revision ligament reconstruction
  • Partial and total knee replacement
  • Total hip replacement
  • Sports injuries

Mr Flynn has the most comprehensive knee surgery skills locally and frequently receives referrals from colleagues, both within his department and from other areas, for routine procedures as well as more complex cases, and second opinions.

From personal experience, Mr Flynn is all too aware of the growing physical toll that sports have on our bodies as we age and the desire to stay active for as long as possible. He appreciates that patients prefer the least intrusive treatments possible to facilitate quick recovery and minimise disruption to their lives.

He has an excellent track record, as reflected by his National Joint Registry results over the past 21 years, with revision rates for unicondylar knee replacements and patellofemoral replacements, among the best in the country. Consequently, patients can feel confident they are receiving top-quality care when treated by Mr Flynn.

Explanation

I have given Mr Flynn a 5 star review because he is an absolutely excellent surgeon and a very good person to have looking after you. From the initial consultation I felt I was in very safe hands and I have always trusted him completely.. He explains everything very clearly. I rarely had questions to ask because he covers everything but on the rare occasion I did ask a question, he took time and trouble to explain further. He does not push you into an operation but will give other options which you may prefer to take up. He is very kind and caring and came to see me before and after my operation. He has now partially replaced one knee and fully replaced one hip. Each operation went smoothly and I made excellent recoveries very quickly. I am no longer in any pain. If in the future I need further joint surgery, I would not hesitate to consult Mr Flynn and I would recommend him 100%.

Mr Flynn was very clear and detailed in discussing the problems I had with my knee. I appreciated his honesty in that my knee would never be 100% but that he felt a difference could be made with surgery. I have been surprised and delighted at the outcome of surgery, I have a much better outcome than I expected. On the day of the surgery every effort was made to manage pain and I was surprised how little pain I experienced.

Explanation

Mr Flynn is very approachable and knowledgeable. I have found appointments with him to feel extremely rushed though and not often a lot of time to ask questions, if questions are asked they are not always answered. I was also given conflicting information from Mr Flynn and the physio department at the saxon clinic regarding my post operative recovery.
