About Mr Oliver Templeton Ward

Personal Profile

Mr. Oliver Templeton-Ward is a consultant trauma and orthopaedic surgeon specialising exclusively in knee surgery. His practice focuses on complex sports injuries, ligament reconstruction and advanced joint preservation techniques, alongside robotic-assisted partial and total knee replacement for arthritis.

Mr Templeton-Ward is fellowship trained in knee replacement surgery and ligament reconstruction, with particular expertise in robotic-assisted knee arthroplasty and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.

Background

Mr Templeton-Ward graduated from the University of Nottingham Medical School before completing his surgical and orthopaedic training in London and the South East of England.

He undertook 15 months of specialist fellowship training in knee surgery, initially under Mr Neil Bradley at the Royal Surrey County Hospital, where he trained in partial, total and revision knee replacement surgery. He subsequently completed the internationally recognised fellowship in Sydney with Dr David Wood, President of the Australian Knee Society, focusing on ligament reconstruction and patellofemoral instability surgery.

Mr Templeton-Ward spent 10 years as a consultant at the Royal Surrey County Hospital, specialising in both knee trauma and elective knee surgery. Since 2026, he has moved into full-time private practice, working between Guildford and Marylebone in Central London.

Alongside his clinical practice, he is an Honorary Clinical Senior Lecturer at the University of Surrey Medical School.

Research Interests

Mr Templeton-Ward’s research interests include enhanced recovery and rapid rehabilitation following ACL reconstruction and knee replacement surgery. He was a local principal investigator for the nationally based ACL SNAAP trial coordinated through the University of Oxford.

His current research includes robotic-assisted partial knee replacement outcomes and the use of quadriceps tendon grafts for ACL reconstruction in elite athletes. He has presented nationally and internationally and regularly hosts visiting surgeons observing modern quadriceps tendon ACL reconstruction techniques.
