About

Mr. Mahbub Alam is a highly skilled Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon with a special interest in knee surgery and sports injuries.

He is skilled in performing knee replacements, including partial knee replacements, total knee replacements, patient-specific knee replacements, and revision surgery. His expertise also extends to sports injuries, high tibial osteotomies, and advanced techniques like cartilage transplants, stem cell treatments, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy.

He underwent specialised training in knee surgery, sports injuries, and arthroplasty during his Knee, Sports Injuries, and Lower Limb Trauma fellowship at UHS Southampton, a centre for the European Knee Fellowship.

Mr. Alam has made significant contributions to the field of orthopaedics through his research.
