Mr Dhawan’s special interests include hip and knee arthroplasty, with a focus on complex cases such as adverse spinopelvic mobility and minimally invasive techniques. He is also interested in keyhole surgery for knees. Mr Dhawan has a passion for musculoskeletal trauma surgery and is deeply invested in improving outcomes for joint replacement patients through enhanced recovery protocols and innovative implants.

Mr. Dhawan trained at the esteemed Oswestry Orthopaedic Training Programme at the Robert Jones Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital and University Hospitals North Midlands. His comprehensive training encompassed managing simple and complex primary and revision lower limb arthroplasty cases, poly-trauma, peri-prosthetic fractures, long bone fractures, and primary and metastatic bone tumours.

After completing his training, Mr. Dhawan pursued an International Lower Limb Arthroplasty and Sports Fellowship in Australia at the Melbourne Orthopaedic Group. Here, he gained expertise in the Optimised Positioning System (OPS), an innovative technology for total hip replacements that optimises implant positioning based on each patient’s spino-pelvic alignment and biomechanics. Following this, he completed an Advanced Hip Fellowship at Southmead Hospital, Bristol, refining his skills in revision hip and knee surgery and Prosthetic Joint Infections (PJI).

Prior to his orthopaedic training, Mr. Dhawan completed a Master’s degree at University College London and the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore, where he conducted pioneering research on cellular interactions with metal surfaces and soft tissues for Intra-Osseous Transcutaneous Amputation Prostheses (ITAP).

Mr Dhawan is deeply committed to sharing knowledge and fostering the next generation of orthopaedic surgeons. He regularly teaches at the Royal College of Surgeons in London, contributing to courses designed to equip surgeons with advanced skills and cutting-edge techniques. As an Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) Instructor, Mr Dhawan provides comprehensive training to both junior and senior doctors, ensuring they are prepared to manage trauma cases with precision and confidence.

In his clinical role, Mr Dhawan mentors registrars extensively, covering both elective and trauma surgery. This includes supervising procedures such as hip and knee arthroplasties, guiding registrars through preoperative planning, surgical execution, and postoperative care. Over the past year, Mr Dhawan has supervised numerous joint replacements, providing hands-on teaching to develop their technical and decision-making skills.

Mr Dhawan’s passion for education extends to facilitating the Oswestry FRCS Viva and Clinical Course, where he helps candidates prepare for their final surgical exams with tailored, high-quality guidance.

Mr Dhawan has a large body of work contributing to the advancement of orthopaedic surgery, with a focus on hip and knee arthroplasty, musculoskeletal tumour management, and innovative surgical techniques. His publications in journals emphasise evidence-based practices and have influenced both clinical and academic communities. These publications demonstrate his dedication to advancing orthopaedic knowledge, improving patient outcomes, and fostering innovation in surgical techniques. Each piece reflects his commitment to collaboration and research that bridges the gap between clinical practice and academic inquiry.

Mr Dhawan is now undertaking Arthrosamid® injections for knee pain in his practice at Bath Clinic.

Patients and colleagues alike commend Mr Dhawan’s approachability, thoroughness, and dedication to delivering exceptional care. Testimonials often highlight his ability to simplify complex medical information, instill confidence, and achieve remarkable surgical outcomes.

Mr Dhawan is an avid cricket fan and enjoys leg spinning. He also likes road biking when he is not spending time with his family. He is currently in the process of improving grip strength and techniques to graduate from a beginner to an ‘intermediate’ climber in bouldering, realising its much harder than what it looks like on TV!
