Mr Chethan Jayadev

Consultant Orthopaedic Knee Surgeon
MA(Oxon) BMBCh DPhil(PhD) FRCS(Tr&Orth)
Chethan is a Consultant Orthopaedic Knee Surgeon at the world-renowned Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore, where he is Lead Clinician for Knee Preservation and Cartilage Surgery. He consults privately at The London Clinic in Marylebone, Spire Bushey Hospital and RNOH Private Care. His practice covers the full spectrum of knee surgery, from cartilage and meniscal surgery, osteotomy, sports injuries and kneecap instability through to partial, total and complex revision knee replacement. That breadth lets him start with the person rather than the procedure: how the knee affects their life, what they want to get back to, and the best way to get there, which is sometimes not surgery at all. In knee preservation, the aim is to restore the knee and prevent or delay joint replacement. In total knee replacement, he favours kinematic alignment where it suits the patient. His commitment in every case is to precision and personalisation.

Chethan is a keen runner and does regular strength training, so he understands at first hand what active patients want to get back to. He is an Arsenal supporter and a car enthusiast, with a particular fondness for classic sports cars.
