Professional bio

Mr Christopher Wilson has been a Consultant Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgeon for 25 years. 

Currently working at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff with the NHS. Until recently, Mr Wilson has been actively on the on-call rota for trauma and orthopaedic. 

Mr Wilson plays an active role in the management of specialist trauma, lower limb and knee injuries. 

Specialist interests in knee surgery, ranging from soft tissue reconstruction, realignment osteotomy and knee arthroplasty. Mr Wilson has experience in robotic knee arthroplasty, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty and various types of osteotomy around the knee for 
knee realignment and knee preserving surgery. Mr Wilson runs a specialist orthopaedic knee clinic, with 50 years’ experience of soft tissue reconstruction and realignment osteotomy in children.
