Mr Paul Culpan

Mr Paul Culpan offers his expertise in complex problems relating to hip, knee and lower limb trauma, often treating patients traveling from all over the world to have their problems assessed. Mr Culpan works within a team of specialists from multiple specialties all based at London’s top teaching hospitals to ensure the best level of care is delivered.

Mr Paul Culpan is a Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon at King Edward VII’s Hospital. Mr Culpan specialises in knee and hip replacements, and often revisions of previous surgeries.

Mr Culpan also works at the largest trauma centre in Europe, the Royal London Hospital.

He joined St Bartholomew’s and Royal London teaching hospital in April 2010 and initiated a pelvic and acetabular trauma service to complement the existing impressive orthopaedic trauma service that the Royal London Hospital is renowned for. This service has developed rapidly to become the busiest in the country.

Mr Culpan is one of a handful of surgeons globally performing customised hip replacements utilising minimally invasive techniques and more complex hip replacement surgery, including lower limb reconstruction surgery, revision surgery and knee replacement surgery.

He specialises in the management of complex trauma patients, including pelvic and acetabular fractures being amongst the few global surgeons who can perform the so-called “fix and replace”. He continues to manage patients with knee sports injuries and knee ligament injuries, including reconstructions in complex multiple ligament injuries of the knee.

Within the scope of hip and knee replacement surgery, he focuses on precise preoperative planning through performing 3D planning and when needed using customised implants to reconstruct precise anatomy and muscle preserving approaches to allow a rapid recovery and high functional results.

For many years, Mr Culpan has treated international patients who have travelled for care in London and abroad. As CEO of London International Patient Services, he has worked closely with leading consultants across London to provide the best level of care possible to overseas patients.
