Summary of Clinical Outcomes
Mr Kim is a Fellowship trained Hip and Knee Surgeon who has over 17 years of independent, Consultant practice. He has been in full time independent private practice since 2017. He works collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team with other specialist colleagues, physiotherapists and Consultant colleagues. His clinical practice is supported by 2 full time members of staff, a practice manager and 2 clinical assistants.
Mr Kim’s surgical practice is focused on hip replacements, knee replacements and partial knee replacements; specifically leading-edge technology robot-arm assisted hip and knee replacements. These are highly technical operations.
Research has demonstrated that the number of hip and knee replacement procedures performed (e.g. a year) by treating Surgeons matters, * with better outcomes associated with higher volume hip and knee Surgeons.
Mr Kim performed the largest number of private Robot-arm assisted hip and knee replacements in the United Kingdom (Year-end 2022 and 2023, with more than 600 hip and knee replacements).
According to the National Joint Registry **, Mr Kim performed :
- 427 Primary Total Hip Replacements (National average 124)
- 259 Primary Total Knee replacements (National average 115)
- 48 Partial Knee replacements (National average 41)
Outcomes collected in the National Joint Registry reveal very satisfactory clinical outcomes in terms of survivorship of the hip and knee replacements and patient safety over the short and long-term.
In addition to the reassuring data available in the National Joint Registry, patient reported outcomes matter. You will find evidence of several patient reported outcomes by clicking on the various links below.
