Mr Trevor Lawrence

With over 25 years of experience in orthopaedic medicine, I have one of the lowest major complication rates at Spire Parkway Hospital, and I am among the lowest in the UK.

My team and I take the time to listen to your concerns, answer your questions, develop tailored treatment plans, and provide support throughout your recovery journey. My expertise has helped thousands of patients overcome hip and knee pain, regaining their mobility and quality of life.

I use the Exeter Hip Replacement Implant, which has excellent long-term results, with over 90% of hip joints functioning for up to 39 years or more.

According to the National Joint Registry for England and Wales, the Exeter Hip Replacement Implant has the best patient outcomes. NJR data also shows that I perform over three times the annual UK national average of primary hip replacements, highlighting extensive experience and highly successful practice.

After graduating from Edinburgh University Medical School in 1986, I trained at Wrightington Hospital in Wigan, where Sir John Charnley pioneered the first hip replacement.

I also trained at the Princess Elizabeth Hospital in Exeter, where significant advancements in hip design and surgical techniques were made. Additionally, I spent a year as a Surgical and Research Fellow in Adult Lower Limb Joint Replacement at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, USA.

My achievements include being awarded Excellence Points for Quality of Care for patients undergoing joint replacements with the NHS. I was also a convener for the Exeter Hip Course at Solihull Hospital, attracting orthopaedic surgeons from across Britain. In 2011, I won the Naughton Dunn Award and frequently publish and present research as a guest speaker at national and international conferences on orthopaedic surgery. Additionally, I am a member of the Regional Working Party focused on best practices for post-operative care following lower limb joint replacements.

Throughout my career, I have trained over 40 surgeons in Total Joint Replacement Surgery, many of whom are now practising across the UK.
