Mr Saman Horriat is a Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon with a specialist interest in hip and knee replacement surgery, including robotic-assisted arthroplasty. At Chaucer Hospital, he provides expert assessment and treatment for patients with degenerative joint conditions, arthritis and other hip and knee disorders, helping individuals regain mobility, reduce pain and improve their quality of life.

Mr Horriat completed his higher surgical training in Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery through the South West London training programme, one of the UK's established specialist orthopaedic training pathways. Following the successful completion of his training, he was awarded a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) by the General Medical Council and gained Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. These achievements reflect his extensive specialist training and commitment to maintaining the highest standards of surgical practice.

Throughout his higher surgical training and subsequent fellowship experience, Mr Horriat developed advanced expertise in primary and complex hip and knee replacement surgery. He undertook specialist training at several highly regarded centres, including St George's University Hospital, University College London Hospital and The Royal Surrey County Hospital. During this time, he gained comprehensive experience in modern joint replacement techniques, complex lower limb arthroplasty and robotic-assisted joint replacement surgery. His training exposed him to a wide range of routine and complex cases and provided valuable opportunities to learn from highly experienced orthopaedic surgeons working at the forefront of their specialty.

A key focus of Mr Horriat's practice is the management of arthritis affecting the hip and knee. Arthritis can have a significant impact on daily activities, mobility and independence, and Mr Horriat works closely with patients to identify the most appropriate treatment strategy for their individual circumstances. He offers a comprehensive approach that may include non-surgical management options alongside advanced surgical treatments when joint replacement becomes necessary.

Alongside his private practice, Mr Horriat currently serves as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust. In this role, he provides specialist care for both trauma and elective orthopaedic patients across the region. His NHS practice encompasses the treatment of acute orthopaedic injuries as well as planned hip and knee procedures, giving him broad experience in all aspects of lower limb orthopaedics.

Patients consulting Mr Horriat benefit from an approachable and patient-centred style of care. He recognises that decisions regarding hip or knee surgery are significant and believes patients should be fully informed throughout the treatment process. He takes time to explain diagnoses, discuss available treatment options and work collaboratively with patients to develop treatment plans that align with their personal goals and expectations.

Through his combination of specialist training, expertise in joint replacement surgery and commitment to patient-focused care, Mr Horriat provides comprehensive orthopaedic services for patients seeking treatment for hip and knee conditions at Chaucer Hospital.
