About Mr Arjuna Imbuldeniya
Personal Profile
Mr Arjuna Imbuldeniya is a Consultant Knee and Hip Surgeon who takes a long-term, preservation-focused approach to joint care. His priority is to help patients become pain-free, confident in their movement, and active for as long as possible, while avoiding surgery wherever it is safe and sensible to do so.
With over 25 years’ experience in medicine and more than a decade as a substantive NHS consultant, he has treated thousands of patients with knee and hip pain. Many seek him out specifically because they want clear answers, modern non-surgical options, and honest advice about whether surgery is truly necessary.
A different way of approaching knee and hip pain
Mr Imbuldeniya believes that most joint problems are not binary decisions between “do nothing” and “have surgery”. Instead, they sit on a spectrum where the right combination of diagnosis, biology, movement and targeted intervention can often restore function and delay - or avoid - major surgery altogether.
His consultations are unhurried and centred on understanding how pain is affecting a patient’s life, what they want to return to, and how best to protect their joints over the long term.
Where appropriate, he uses the latest evidence-based treatments such as PRP and Arthrosamid® injections, alongside rehabilitation and movement optimisation, to reduce pain and improve joint function. These treatments are offered as part of a structured, science-led plan, not as stand-alone quick fixes.
When surgery is needed
When surgery is the right option, Mr Imbuldeniya brings extensive experience in advanced knee and hip surgery, including ACL and meniscus surgery, joint preservation techniques and modern hip and knee replacement.
He uses muscle-sparing, minimally invasive and technology-assisted techniques wherever possible, with a focus on accuracy, recovery and durability - particularly important for active adults who want to return to work, sport or an independent lifestyle.
Patients value his ability to explain why surgery is recommended, what it can realistically achieve, and when it is better to wait.
Training and background
Mr Imbuldeniya trained at leading London teaching hospitals including St Mary’s Hospital, Charing Cross Hospital, King’s College Hospital, The Royal London Hospital and Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.
He completed advanced international fellowship training at the Mater Hospital in Sydney, specialising in computer-guided and minimally invasive joint replacement, and was awarded the ESSKA Sports Knee Fellowship in Barcelona, training with leading European knee surgeons.
He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and a member of BASK, ESSKA and the British Hip Society.
NHS and private practice
Mr Imbuldeniya is a Consultant Knee and Hip Surgeon at Chelsea and Westminster NHS Foundation Trust. He sees private patients at The Syon Clinic, where he offers thoughtful, personalised care focused on long-term joint health rather than short-term fixes.
