Prior to seeing Mr Jennings I was under a local NHS hospital for a fractured shoulder and an extremely painful knee which I was told was not fractured. When it was still very painful 6 weeks after, I decided to see Mr Jennings privately.

Mr Jennings trained at St Bartholomew’s Hospital in London, gained a degree in Clinical Sciences at St Mary’s Hospital and Imperial College in 1991 and obtained his MBBS in 1992. After a fellowship year in knee surgery at the Wellington Hospital Knee Surgery Unit he was appointed to the higher surgical training rotation at University College and the Middlesex Hospitals.

In cases where patients do not require surgery, he works closely with a multitude of therapists, including rheumatologists, physicians, physiotherapists, chiropractors and osteopaths to ensure that each individual achieves the optimal service and outcome for their problem.
As an orthopaedic surgeon with a friendly approach, he is readily accessible and is keen to involve the patient in the whole process of treatment.

Hip arthroscopy
The development of modern techniques and technology make it possible for Mr Jennings to examine the inside of the hip joint using a fibre optic camera (arthroscope). He is able to determine the source of any hip pain, such as damage to the cartilage, ligaments and bone and identify any structural or congenital deformity. This minimally invasive technique also allows Mr Jennings to perform a number of surgical procedures, including the repair of torn cartilage and the removal of loose pieces of bone, with quicker recovery times and less scarring for the patient.
Modern hip surgery
Improvements in surgical techniques and technology in recent years make hip replacement surgery one of the most effective surgeries performed in the UK today, enabling thousands of people to return to active lives. All artificial hips are now made from a combination of light weight biocompatible metal alloys, high grade plastics and modern ceramic materials, resulting in replacement hip joints that are long-lasting, strong, flexible and resistant to wear.
Mr Jennings is able to provide all the latest surgical techniques for repairing and replacing damaged hip joints, including total hip replacement, revision hip surgery, hip resurfacing and minimal incision hip replacement.
Consultation
Mr Jennings consults at 108 Harley Street and the majority of his operations are carried out at The Princess Grace Hospital, a large private hospital in central London with fully equipped theatres, a high dependency unit and resident medical staff. To provide a service to patients in North London, he also consults at the Clementine Churchill Hospital in Harrow and at Spire Bushey Hospital.
