When is knee osteotomy considered for a patient?

By Mr Arman Memarzadeh
Orthopaedic surgery

Mr Arman Memarzadeh is a highly accomplished and well-regarded consultant knee surgeon who specialises in knee replacement surgery, arthroplasty surgery, knee osteoarthritis, knee osteotomy, ACL reconstruction, and knee fractures. He is currently based at both the Nuffield Health Cambridge Hospital and the Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital. 

Mr Memarzadeh, who also possesses expertise when it comes to early arthritis of the knee, performing partial knee replacement and robotic surgery, obtained his first medical qualification in 2009 after completing an MBBS at the University of East Anglia. Following this, Mr Memarzadeh would go on to achieve both an FRCS and MD, the latter from the Anglia Ruskin University. 

Having notably completed higher surgical training on the Cambridge rotation, Mr Memarzadeh completed further fellowship training at the Fortius Clinic in London, Oxford University Hospitals, and Leeds Teaching Hospitals. Thanks to this training, he is highly experienced in relation to the management of sports injuries in elite athletes, cartilage regenerative procedures, individualised alignment knee replacement, partial knee replacement, and revision knee replacement surgery.

One of the main passions of Mr Memarzadeh is personalised knee replacements or individualised alignment. This technique uses robotics to accurately tailor the bony cuts to the patient’s individual anatomy. This leads to a more balanced knee replacement and better functional outcomes. This technique is relatively new and Mr Memarzadeh is only one of a handful of surgeons to offer this procedure in the East of England region.

Mr Memarzadeh has been awarded a number of prizes to date, including the Trinity Cup for the most accomplished trainee, Cambridge Trainee of the Year, and a research grant from Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust. He has published an impressive amount of peer-reviewed articles in established medical journals.
 
Mr Memarzadeh is a keen educator. He is permanent faculty on several national courses including the ORUK Cambridge Basic Sciences Course, and has completed a teaching degree from The University of Cambridge.
