Professional statement
Mr Mike Thilagarajah is a consultant trauma and orthopaedic surgeon working in the London and West Kent areas and specialising in disorders of the lower limbs, including hip replacement, knee replacement, ankle surgery, bunion surgery, ankle arthroscopy, and keyhole knee surgery/meniscus surgery. He takes a holistic approach to the lower limb, understanding the interactions between the major joints of the leg, enabling him to make thorough assessments.
Mr Thilagarajah graduated from medical school in London and spent his grounding years training in surgical specialties in hospitals in and around London. He has spent many years caring for patients in the NHS and honed his surgical skills in orthopaedics to provide the best outcomes for his patients.
His passion for ensuring patients get optimal care led him to be involved in various innovations. As a result, he was awarded several NHS excellence awards for his roles as trauma lead, fractured hip lead, and college tutor for orthopaedics at his NHS base; roles which he held for over ten years. During that time, he transformed the quality of service provided for hip fracture patients and continues to advocate for this vulnerable, at-risk group. He is the foot and ankle lead, overseeing the expansion of the service in his NHS hospital.
Whether it is a joint replacement or a sports injury, Mr Thilagarajah is trained to take on procedures from his wide-ranging repertoire, from simple to highly complex. In addition, he remains up to date on newer techniques within his sub-specialties, providing his patients with the best care and advice, most appropriate for their individual needs. He places communication high on his agenda and does his utmost to ensure his patients understand their diagnoses and options, to enable them to make informed decisions.
Mr Thilagarajah is also dedicated to training future surgeons. He regularly teaches on surgical skills courses with the Royal College of Surgeons. He has very high standards and is dedicated to instilling the best values in the trainee surgeons working with him, which they can carry into their careers.

Mr Thilagarajah is an amazing doctor. He operated on my left foot boy. What a fantastic job he did and I’m very pleased to say he’s now in the processes of looking at my right foot. There’s not enough space here to go through the procedures that he did for me, but he is a fantastic surgeon

From my first meeting with Mr Thilagarajah, I found him to be friendly, welcoming and obviously an expert in his field. On the day of my hip replacement surgery, he visited me in my room and reassured me about the procedure, making me feel confident about what was to happen. After my surgery, he came to see me and told me that it had all gone well, which was very reassuring. Later the next day, before I was discharged, he visited me in my room once more, and checked that I was feeling okay and was relatively comfortable. Within six weeks of the operation I was walking comfortably without any crutches. I saw Mr Thilagarajah again six weeks after my surgery. He was very positive about my speedy recovery, and made me feel reassured that the operation had been a complete success. I could not have wished for a better consultant. He has improved my mobility, beyond my expectations
