Mr Kunal Kulkarni

Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Hand & Wrist Surgeon

BMBCh, MA (Oxon), MSc, FRCS (Tr&Orth), FEBHS, Dip Hand Surg (Br)


Specialises in

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome surgery
  • Hand and wrist joint replacement
  • Trigger finger
  • Hand and wrist trauma (fractures, tendon and nerve injuries)

I am a substantive Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon based at University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust. I have a sub-specialist interest in both trauma and elective hand and wrist surgery.

My practice at Spire Leicester encompasses the breadth of elective and trauma hand and wrist surgery. I see both adults and children with hand and wrist problems.

I am one of only a select few hand and wrist surgeons in the UK that is dual certified with both the British and European Diplomas in Hand Surgery.

I received my medical degree from the University of Oxford and have since completed my surgical training across the Oxford, London, and Midlands training regions. I am fellowship trained, having completed a post-CCT Senior Clinical Hand Fellow post at the internationally renowned Pulvertaft Hand Centre in Derby. I have also undertaken a competitively awarded British Orthopaedic Association Travelling Fellowship at Ganga Hospital in Coimbatore, India – one of the world's leading ortho-plastic surgical centres.
