After completing specialist orthopaedic training on the North Western and West Midlands training programme, Mr Moholkar was appointed Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in December 2004. He is currently the Clinical Outcomes Lead at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital.

He has undertaken international fellowship training in the USA, as well as a Sports Fellowship in Australia, further developing his expertise in complex knee and shoulder surgery.

His main clinical focus is knee and shoulder surgery, including both arthroscopic (keyhole) procedures and joint replacement surgery. He has particular expertise in total knee replacement, partial (unicompartmental) knee replacement, and patello-femoral knee replacement using minimally invasive and computer-assisted techniques.

Mr Moholkar has a strong interest in improving outcomes in knee replacement surgery. He designed a surgical instrument that helps balance the knee during surgery, which can improve accuracy and patient outcomes. He has developed and refined this approach since he began performing knee replacements in 2002.

He is known for using a “balanced knee” approach and regularly reviews patient-reported outcomes (PROMS), patient satisfaction, and long-term implant survival rates to measure and improve results. He is open about his outcomes and is committed to continuous improvement in surgical care.

He uses the medial pivot concept in knee replacement surgery and is actively involved in teaching and lecturing internationally on this technique. He has presented his work in countries including Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, India, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.

Mr Moholkar also uses an enhanced recovery programme for knee replacement surgery, which he refers to as the “Get Better Soon (GBS)” pathway. This approach is designed to reduce pain, support early mobility, and improve recovery.

Where appropriate, he recommends spinal anaesthesia and uses a combination of pain-relief strategies before, during, and after surgery to minimise discomfort and support faster recovery. Most patients are able to return home within 48 hours of surgery.

He also provides medico-legal consultations and expert reporting.

Mr Moholkar has published and presented several papers and posters both nationally and internationally. Further information is available on his website https://kneeclinics.co.uk
