About me

Following Mr Enrique Saavedra’s Orthopaedic training he began his first Consultant post at Central Middlesex Hospital in 1998 moving on to Imperial College, Charing Cross Hospital. Since 2003 Mr Saavedra has had a substantive post at Ealing Hospital as Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon with various roles including Clinical Head of Department.

Mr Saavedra has developed a specialist interest in all aspects of knee surgery with a super specialist interest in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using both autograft and allograft. He has been using PRP injections for around 10 years and has treated a significant number of patients with the procedure. The results are encouraging

There have been new techniques introduced to the surgical world with the arrival of Robotic knee surgery. It has become a more common technique in the past 3-5 years with the overall aim to improve the outcome of surgery.
