Mr Oliver Templeton-Ward
Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon
Mr. Oliver Templeton-Ward is a consultant trauma and orthopaedic surgeon specialising exclusively in knee surgery. His practice focuses on complex sports knee injuries, ligament reconstruction and advanced joint preservation techniques, alongside robotic-assisted partial and total knee replacement for both early and established arthritis.
Mr Templeton-Ward is fellowship trained in knee replacement surgery and ligament reconstruction, with particular expertise in robotic-assisted knee arthroplasty and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
Background
Mr Templeton-Ward graduated from the University of Nottingham Medical School before completing his surgical and orthopaedic training in London and the South East of England.
He undertook 15 months of specialist fellowship training in knee surgery, initially under Mr Neil Bradley at the Royal Surrey County Hospital, where he trained in partial, total and revision knee replacement surgery.
