Professional statement

Mr Caesar Wek is an experienced consultant orthopaedic and trauma surgeon in Dorset, who specialises in hip replacement, revision hip replacement and knee replacement alongside knee arthroscopy, hip arthritis and knee arthritis. He privately practises at The Winterbourne Hospital and his NHS base is Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

Mr Wek is one of the few surgeons in Dorset skilled in minimally invasive (small-scar) hip replacement surgery, utilising the SPAIRE and Piriformis sparing approaches, which allow for faster recovery and fewer post-operative restrictions.

Mr Wek holds dual fellowship training in complex hip and knee surgery and has completed prestigious fellowships at specialist centres in London, further refining his skills in minimally invasive hip procedures. His calm and innovative problem-solving approach is central to his practice, and he is committed to delivering high-quality care tailored to each patient’s unique needs. His dedication to improving patients’ quality of life is evident in his meticulous attention to detail and personalised treatment plans.

In addition to his clinical expertise, Mr Wek has a strong background in medical education and leadership. He served as an Honorary Clinical Lecturer at Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry from 2012 to 2018 and has held several teaching roles, including as an Anatomy Demonstrator. He is passionate about training the next generation of surgeons and regularly teaches on national and regional courses. In 2022, he earned a Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Leadership as part of the British Orthopaedic Association’s Future Leaders Program.

Mr Wek’s contributions to the field extend beyond clinical practice and teaching. He has presented at numerous national and international conferences on hip and knee surgery and has published a chapter on minimally invasive hip replacement surgery in the professional reference book Hip Arthroplasty: Current and Future Directions (2023).

With a solid academic foundation, including a BSc (Hons) in Orthopaedic Sciences from University College London and an MB ChB from the University of Manchester, Mr Wek completed his specialist orthopaedic training in the renowned South-East Thames program. He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England (FRCS) and holds memberships in the British Hip Society, British Orthopaedic Association, and World Orthopaedic Concern.

Mr Wek’s approach to patient care focuses not only on addressing the physical aspects of musculoskeletal conditions but also on considering the psychological and emotional well-being of his patients. He believes in providing a relaxed, supportive environment where patients feel confident in their treatment choices. His dedication to innovation, teaching, and improving outcomes for patients makes him a respected leader in orthopaedic and trauma surgery.
