Mr. Khan left the NHS in 2018.
Mr. Khan was a selected member of the knee team and provided acute care to injured athletes during the London 2012 Olympic & Paralympic Games. He treated a large number of athletes and performed their surgery at the Homerton University Hospital (designated hospital for the London 2012 Games). He coordinated the provision of a highly specialised multidisciplinary approach to their care securing their return to elite professional sport. Mr. Khan continues to treat professional and semi-professional athletes from all disciplines as well as sports & fitness enthusiasts.
As a highly trained surgeon and sports arthroscopist (keyhole surgeon) working within a multidisciplinary team he is particularly apt in avoiding surgery where appropriate. His expertise includes ACL reconstruction and novel ACL repair techniques, meniscal and cartilage preservation including repair, partial replacement and transplant surgery, all ligament surgery including revision and all arthroscopic procedures to the shoulder and hip as well as Knee & Shoulder Joint Replacement Surgery.
Mr. Khan’s subspecialist interest is in treating sports injuries and and has particular expertise in biological preservation surgery including biological alternatives to joint replacement. He was the first surgeon in North East London & Essex to have successfully performed an arthroscopic meniscal transplant of the knee.
He is committed to research and medical education. He regularly teaches at courses on shoulder and knee surgery including soft tissue sports injury, both nationally and internationally and has been involved in teaching and tutoring Orthopaedic and Sports & Exercise Medicine Trainees to consultant level.
