Diagnoses & Manages
FRCS (Tr & Orth) - Adults & Paediatric Orthopaedics
The musculoskeletal system - your bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage - is central to every movement you make. When something goes wrong, the impact on daily life can be profound. Use this page to find your condition and understand your options.
Every Patient Is Assessed Individually
Mr Anshul Sobti, FRCS (Tr & Orth), offers specialist diagnosis and management for a comprehensive range of orthopaedic conditions in adults and children across London and Middlesex.
Treatment is always tailored to your specific circumstances - not a generic protocol. Your age, activity level, symptom history, imaging findings, and personal goals all influence the clinical decision-making process.
Hip Conditions
Hip Osteoarthritis
Hip osteoarthritis is the progressive loss of cartilage within the hip joint, causing bone-on-bone contact, chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. It is the most common reason for hip replacement surgery. Mr Sobti offers both conventional and robotic-assisted total hip replacement, with minimally invasive techniques to optimise recovery.
Hip Replacement Surgery →Hip Fractures
Hip fractures - most commonly in older adults following a fall, or in younger patients after high-energy trauma - require prompt surgical assessment and management. Delay can significantly worsen outcomes. Mr Sobti is recognised as a leading trauma surgeon in London for complex hip fractures, including those requiring internal fixation or replacement procedures.
Complex Trauma & Fractures →Avascular Necrosis of the Hip
Avascular necrosis (AVN) occurs when the blood supply to the femoral head is disrupted, causing bone tissue to die. It can result from steroid use, excessive alcohol intake, trauma, or may have no identifiable cause. Depending on the stage at diagnosis, treatment may range from core decompression to total hip replacement.
Hip Labral Tears
The labrum is the ring of cartilage surrounding the hip socket. Tears - often sports-related or caused by femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) - can cause deep groin pain, clicking, and instability. Management includes physiotherapy, injection therapy, or hip arthroscopy depending on the severity and patient profile.
Knee Conditions
Knee Osteoarthritis
One of the most prevalent musculoskeletal conditions in the UK, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness that progressively limits walking, stair-climbing, and daily function. When conservative measures no longer provide adequate relief, total or partial knee replacement - including robotic-assisted techniques - can be life-changing.
Knee Replacement Surgery →ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) Tears
ACL tears are among the most common serious sports injuries, typically occurring during sudden pivoting or twisting movements. Depending on your age, activity level, and the degree of instability, treatment may be conservative with intensive physiotherapy, or surgical with ligament reconstruction.
Sports Knee Injuries →Meniscal Injuries
The menisci are two C-shaped cartilage pads within the knee joint that act as shock absorbers and stabilisers. Tears can occur in sport or through degenerative wear. Treatment depends on tear type, patient age, and activity requirements - ranging from physiotherapy and injections to arthroscopic repair or partial meniscectomy.
Sports Knee Injuries →Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
Pain around or behind the kneecap - often worsened by running, squatting, or stairs - is a common presentation in active patients. Causes include cartilage softening (chondromalacia), patellar maltracking, or biomechanical issues. Most cases respond well to targeted physiotherapy, though surgical options exist for persistent cases.
Knee Pain Diagnostics →Knee Arthritis Treatment
Comprehensive management of knee osteoarthritis spanning conservative care, Arthrosamid® hydrogel injections, and surgical intervention. Treatment is staged and personalised - surgery is only recommended when clinically appropriate and all joint-preserving options have been explored.
Knee Arthritis Treatment →Knee Ligament & Tendon Injuries
Injuries to the PCL, MCL, or patellar and quadriceps tendons are assessed and managed individually. Complex multi-ligament injuries or tendon ruptures often require surgical intervention, followed by structured rehabilitation tailored to your activity goals and recovery timeline.
Sports Knee Injuries →Paediatric Orthopaedic Conditions
Gait Disorders
Variations in a child's walking pattern - including persistent in-toeing (pigeon-toeing), toe-walking, flat feet causing pain, or limping - may have underlying orthopaedic causes that warrant assessment. Many resolve naturally with growth, but specialist evaluation ensures nothing is missed.
Paediatric Orthopaedics →Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH)
DDH occurs when the hip joint fails to develop normally, with the femoral head sitting partially or completely outside the socket. Early detection and treatment - which may include bracing, casting, or surgery depending on age and severity - significantly improve long-term outcomes.
Paediatric Orthopaedics →Growth Plate Fractures (Physeal Fractures)
The growth plates at the ends of children's long bones are vulnerable to injury and require careful management to avoid disrupting normal bone growth. Mr Sobti is experienced in assessing and managing physeal fractures across all Salter-Harris classifications, with a focus on preserving long-term function.
Complex Trauma & Fractures →Limb Length Discrepancy & Deformity
Differences in limb length or angular deformities of the legs can arise from congenital causes, injury, or growth disturbance. Depending on severity, management may involve observation, physiotherapy, or surgical correction to restore alignment and function.
Paediatric Orthopaedics →Paediatric Fractures
Children's fractures frequently behave differently from adult injuries due to the presence of growth cartilage and the bone's capacity for remodelling. Mr Sobti's experience in paediatric orthopaedics ensures fractures are managed with the specific considerations unique to growing patients - including appropriate imaging, reduction techniques, and follow-up protocols.
Paediatric Orthopaedics →Trauma & Complex Fractures
Complex Long Bone Fractures
High-energy fractures of the femur, tibia, humerus, or forearm - particularly those that are comminuted (multiple fragments) or open (breaking the skin) - require expert surgical management. Mr Sobti is recognised across London as a leading trauma surgeon for complex injuries of this nature, employing intramedullary nailing, plating, and external fixation as appropriate.
Fracture & Trauma Care →Periarticular Fractures
Fractures around joints - such as the tibial plateau, distal femur, or proximal humerus - are technically challenging to manage and carry a significant risk of long-term joint dysfunction if not treated precisely. Mr Sobti's dual expertise in joint surgery and trauma management is particularly valuable in these complex cases.
Fracture & Trauma Care →Not Sure Which Category
Your Condition Falls Into?
Many patients arrive at their first appointment unsure exactly what is causing their pain - and that is entirely normal. The purpose of your first consultation with Mr Sobti is precisely to establish a clear diagnosis through clinical examination and, where necessary, targeted imaging.
Joint Pain
Knee, hip, or shoulder pain, swelling, restricted movement, or stiffness
Fracture or Injury
Suspected fracture, acute trauma, or a sports-related bone or joint injury
Child's Condition
A musculoskeletal concern for your child - gait, fracture, or developmental issue
