Mr. Turab Syed is a fellowship-trained consultant trauma & orthopaedic surgeon with specialist expertise across hip & knee surgery, ankle & foot surgery, sports medicine, trauma, and orthobiologics. Below is a comprehensive list of conditions he diagnoses and treats at his clinics in Harley Street, London and NHS Forth Valley, Scotland.
From arthritis to fractures, Mr. Syed offers surgical and non-surgical treatment for a full range of hip problems.
Degeneration of the hip joint cartilage causing pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. Treated with both non-surgical options and total hip replacement surgery.
Fractures of the femoral neck and pertrochanteric region requiring prompt surgical management including internal fixation or hip replacement.
Loss of blood supply to the femoral head leading to bone death and collapse of the hip joint. Managed with core decompression or total hip replacement depending on severity.
Inflammation of the bursae (fluid-filled sacs) around the hip, causing pain on the outer hip. Treated with injections, physiotherapy, or in persistent cases, surgical bursectomy.
Abnormal contact between the femoral head and acetabulum causing hip pain and restricted movement, particularly in young active patients. Treated with arthroscopic surgery.
Tear of the cartilaginous rim (labrum) surrounding the hip socket, causing pain, clicking, and instability. Managed arthroscopically with repair or debridement.
Mr. Syed treats the full spectrum of knee conditions — from ligament injuries in athletes to severe arthritis requiring replacement.
Progressive wearing of knee cartilage causing pain, swelling, and stiffness. Treated from physiotherapy and injections through to total knee replacement surgery.
Complete or partial tears of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and other knee ligaments resulting from sporting activity or trauma. Managed with ACL reconstruction or non-surgical rehabilitation.
Tears to the C-shaped cartilage cushions of the knee causing pain, locking, and swelling. Treated with arthroscopic meniscus repair or partial meniscectomy.
Focal defects or widespread damage to the articular cartilage of the knee. Treated with microfracture, cartilage transplantation (ACI/OAT), or in severe cases, knee replacement.
Fractures of the kneecap (patella), tibial plateau, or femoral condyles resulting from falls or high-energy trauma. Treated with surgical fixation or conservative management.
Complex injuries involving damage to two or more knee ligaments, often from high-energy trauma or sporting incidents. Require advanced surgical reconstruction with specialist expertise.
With a BOFAS-recognised fellowship in Ankle & Foot surgery, Mr. Syed treats a wide range of complex foot and ankle problems.
Degeneration of the ankle joint causing pain and stiffness. Treated with orthotics, injections, ankle arthroscopy, or in advanced cases, ankle replacement or fusion.
Degeneration, inflammation, or complete rupture of the Achilles tendon. Managed with physiotherapy, PRP injections, or surgical repair and reconstruction.
Painful bony prominence at the base of the big toe causing malalignment. Treated with minimally invasive bunion surgery for reduced pain and faster recovery.
Inflammation of the plantar fascia causing sharp heel pain especially in the morning. Treated with stretches, orthotics, cortisone injections, or plantar fascia release surgery.
Ligament injuries of the ankle ranging from mild sprains to chronic lateral instability. Managed with physiotherapy, bracing, or ligament reconstruction (Brostrom procedure).
Fractures of the ankle, talus, calcaneum, metatarsals, and toes from falls, sports, or accidents. Treated with surgical fixation or conservative casting depending on severity.
Deformity of the lesser toes and forefoot causing pain and difficulty with footwear. Corrected with minimally invasive surgical techniques.
Sprain of the first metatarsophalangeal joint from hyperextension of the big toe, common in athletes. Treated with rest, splinting, and in severe cases, surgical repair.
As a former Team Doctor for the England National Football Team, Mr. Syed brings elite-level sports medicine expertise to every patient.
Stretched or torn ligaments (sprains) and muscles or tendons (strains) from sporting activity. Treated with RICE therapy, physiotherapy, PRP injections, or surgery for severe cases.
Articular cartilage damage from sporting impact causing pain and swelling. Managed with microfracture, autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI), or osteochondral autograft transfer (OAT).
Dislocation of the shoulder, knee, ankle, or other joints from sporting trauma. Treated with reduction, bracing, and in recurrent cases, stabilisation surgery.
Overuse injuries to tendons including patellar tendinitis ("jumper's knee"), Achilles tendinopathy, and rotator cuff injuries. Treated with physiotherapy, PRP/orthobiologic injections, or surgery.
Hairline fractures caused by repetitive loading, common in runners and athletic training. Managed with rest, activity modification, and in at-risk sites, surgical fixation.
Complex injuries to multiple ligaments within a single joint, most common in the knee. Require specialist surgical reconstruction and lengthy but structured rehabilitation.
Mr. Syed's trauma fellowship training equips him to manage everything from isolated fractures to complex polytrauma.
Simple, comminuted, open, intra-articular, stress, and pathological fractures. Treated with casting, intramedullary nailing, ORIF with plates & screws, or external fixation.
Acute injuries to muscles, tendons, and ligaments including tendon ruptures, ligament tears, and complex soft tissue wounds requiring surgical repair.
High-energy fractures of the pelvis and hip socket from road traffic accidents or falls from height. Managed with multidisciplinary trauma care and surgical reconstruction.
Severe limb injuries with combined bone, soft tissue, and neurovascular involvement. Mr. Syed has specialist expertise in limb salvage and reconstruction.
Dislocation of the shoulder, hip, knee, elbow, or ankle from high-energy trauma. Requires urgent reduction and assessment for associated fractures or vascular injuries.
Structured recovery programmes developed in partnership with physiotherapists to restore mobility, strength, and function following orthopaedic trauma.
Regenerative treatments such as PRP, N-Stride, GOLDIC, and Stem Cell injections can complement or replace surgery for many conditions.
Degenerative joint disease causing cartilage loss and pain. Orthobiologic injections such as PRP and N-Stride can delay disease progression and significantly reduce pain.
Chronic tendon degeneration including tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, and Achilles tendinopathy. PRP injections promote tendon healing and reduce chronic inflammation.
Partial ligament injuries that have not responded to physiotherapy can benefit from PRP or Lipogems injections to accelerate healing and restore joint stability.
Focal cartilage defects and early arthritis that may avoid or delay surgical intervention by stimulating biological healing through stem cell and PRP therapies.
Partial or degenerative tears of the rotator cuff tendons in the shoulder. PRP and Lipogems injections can help reduce pain and improve function while avoiding shoulder surgery.
Chronic inflammation of joint bursae (e.g. hip bursitis, shoulder bursitis) that persists despite steroid injections may respond well to GOLDIC or PRP treatment.
