A Sheffield consultant with a national reputation in complex joint replacement
Mr Andrew Gordon is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon with 23 years of orthopaedic experience, based at Spire Claremont Hospital in Sheffield. He qualified from Sheffield Medical School in 1997 and trained as a Fellow in revision hip and knee replacement surgery at Nottingham University NHS Trust before returning to Sheffield as a Consultant.
Alongside his private practice, Andrew's NHS role is within the Lower Limb Arthroplasty Unit at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals — a quaternary referral centre for complex revision hip and knee surgery — where he is Deputy Clinical Director (Elective Orthopaedics) and Regional Chair of the Major Revision Knee Network. This means he is equally at home managing straightforward hip or knee problems and advising on joint replacements that haven't gone to plan.
Andrew is part of the Sheffield Orthopaedics Ltd Consortium, a group of orthopaedic consultants operating since 2004 that offers 24/7 patient support throughout the year. His NHS work is based at the Northern General Hospital and the Royal Hallamshire Hospital.
He trained as a Fellow under Mr Andrew Manktelow and Mr Peter James in revision hip and knee replacement surgery at Nottingham University NHS Trust, and sits on the National Steering Committee for the Major Revision Knee Network, which works to improve patient outcomes and reduce complications by standardising care and fostering transparency.
In 2012 Andrew was awarded a PhD in immunobiology and the genetic risk factors for aseptic loosening after total hip replacement, work recognised with national and international awards including the William Harris Hip Award in the USA. He has published in numerous peer-reviewed journals, including The Lancet, and is a senior trainer and mentor of the Cavendish Fellows, a specialist programme providing advanced training in revision hip and knee arthroplasty.
Specialist expertise when things aren't straightforward
Not every hip or knee problem is a first-time replacement — and not every patient coming to see Andrew is looking for one. Alongside his primary joint replacement practice, his NHS role within Sheffield's Lower Limb Arthroplasty Unit — a quaternary referral centre for complex revision surgery — and his position as Regional Chair of the Major Revision Knee Network give him substantial experience assessing patients where:
- A previous replacement remains painful
- A hip or knee feels unstable
- Symptoms have returned after surgery
- Imaging looks concerning
- Infection or loosening is suspected
- A second opinion is wanted on an existing joint replacement
At Spire Claremont, Andrew offers specialist private assessment, investigation and advice for patients in this position. Where more complex revision surgery is required, he will advise on the most appropriate route for that care.
