Mr Matthew Burwell

Matthew Burwell is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Sulis Hospital Bath. He is nationally-acknowledged as one of the top performing high volume hip surgeons in the country.

Matthew qualified as a doctor from the University of London in 1988 and undertook specialist surgical training in Orthopaedics and Trauma on the North West Thames Rotation, based at the Royal Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, completing his final year of training at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital at Stanmore in 1998. He went on to receive advanced training in adult hip reconstruction as the Arthroplasty Fellow to Professor Don Howie at the University of Adelaide in South Australia in 1999.

Matthew has developed expertise in all forms of adult hip reconstruction and joint replacement including the use of cemented and uncemented hip replacement implants and modern materials including the bearing.

Matthew has experience in the use of the MAKO robotic-assisted hip replacement since 2019, which he has found particularly helpful in patients who have had previous hip surgery as a child or adolescent. Matthew can discuss the history of robotic surgery, the results to date in the literature and what it can offer in an open and frank manner.
