About Mr Vivek Gulati
Personal Profile
Mr Vivek Gulati is a highly respected Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon and Lead Consultant Hip Surgeon at Homerton University Hospital, specialising exclusively in the diagnosis and treatment of complex hip and knee conditions. Recognised for his meticulous surgical expertise, evidence-based approach, and compassionate patient care, Mr Gulati is committed to delivering outstanding outcomes through personalised and customised hip and knee replacement solutions, ensuring every patient receives treatment tailored to their individual needs, lifestyle, and goals.
With extensive experience in both primary and revision joint replacement surgery, Mr Gulati offers the full spectrum of modern hip and knee treatments, including customised hip and knee replacement, total hip replacement, total knee replacement, partial knee replacement, revision hip surgery, arthroscopic knee procedures, and advanced joint preservation techniques. He has particular expertise in complex hip and knee replacement surgery, managing challenging cases involving severe arthritis, deformity, previous failed joint replacements, infection, and complex reconstruction. His specialist interest in revision hip replacement surgery helps patients regain mobility, reduce pain, and restore quality of life when complications or previous procedures have not achieved the desired outcome.
As orthopaedic surgery continues to evolve, Mr Gulati remains at the forefront of innovation, embracing the latest technologies and enhanced recovery protocols designed to improve patient outcomes. He is committed to offering minimally invasive tissue-sparing hip and knee replacement surgery wherever clinically appropriate. These advanced surgical techniques are designed to minimise disruption to muscles and soft tissues, helping to reduce postoperative pain, optimise recovery, shorten hospital stays, and enable patients to return to their normal activities more quickly. Combined with modern anaesthetic practices, multimodal pain management, and accelerated rehabilitation programmes, these advancements support a smoother recovery journey and allow many patients to recover safely in the comfort of their own homes sooner than ever before.
Mr Gulati is one of the surgeons offering VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement Surgery, one of the latest technological developments in knee replacement care. This innovative robotic platform uses real-time data and precision-guided technology to assist surgeons in optimising implant positioning and alignment during surgery. By providing a highly personalised approach to knee replacement, VELYS™ technology can help improve surgical accuracy, enhance joint function, and support a smoother recovery journey for patients undergoing knee replacement surgery.
Recognising that not all joint problems require surgery, Mr Gulati also provides a range of advanced non-surgical and biologic treatment options. Among these is Arthrosamid®, a groundbreaking injectable treatment for knee osteoarthritis. Arthrosamid® is a non-biodegradable hydrogel that integrates within the knee joint tissue to provide long-lasting cushioning and pain relief. This minimally invasive procedure offers an effective alternative for many patients seeking to manage knee arthritis symptoms, improve mobility, and potentially delay the need for joint replacement surgery.
Mr Gulati completed his medical education at the University of Cambridge, where he was awarded the prestigious Rolleston Prize. During his studies, he undertook a clinical internship at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard University, gaining invaluable international experience. He subsequently secured a place on the highly competitive Imperial College North West Thames Orthopaedic Training Rotation and later completed a Higher Master's Research Degree at Imperial College London. His pioneering research utilised advanced three-dimensional gait analysis technology to investigate the biomechanical mechanisms involved in osteoarthritis progression.
Further enhancing his expertise, Mr Gulati completed specialist hip and knee fellowship training at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital, a nationally recognised centre of excellence for joint replacement surgery, alongside an international fellowship at the world-renowned St Michael's Hospital in Toronto, Canada.
A passionate educator and researcher, Mr Gulati has published more than 30 peer-reviewed papers in leading international orthopaedic journals and has presented his work extensively at national and international conferences. His commitment to teaching and mentoring future surgeons led to the award of an Imperial College Honorary Lectureship.
