Mr Mohammed Shaeir
Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon
About
Mr Mohammed Shaeir is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in hip and knee surgery. He works within the NHS at East Kent Hospitals University Foundation Trust and sees private patients at consulting rooms in Ashford, Kent.
Mr Shaeir completed his higher surgical training in Trauma and Orthopaedics in the UK, gaining both the FRCS (Trauma & Orthopaedics) from the Royal College of Surgeons of England and the FEBOT from the European Board of Orthopaedics and Traumatology. He then pursued advanced fellowship training at some of the UK's leading centres for joint replacement surgery. At University College London Hospitals, he trained under Professor Fares Haddad in complex revision arthroplasty, robotic surgery, and sports knee procedures. At the South West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre, he trained under Professor Richard Field and Professor Deiary Kader in the direct anterior approach and minimally invasive hip replacement techniques. He also undertook fellowship training at the Golden Jubilee National Hospital in Glasgow, one of the highest-volume arthroplasty centres in the UK.
His clinical practice covers primary and revision hip and knee replacement, robotic-assisted surgery using the MAKO platform, and sports knee surgery including ACL reconstruction and meniscal repair. He is a certified MAKO robotic arthroplasty user, offering CT-guided 3D planning and sub-millimetre precision for both hip and knee procedures.
Mr Shaeir is registered on the GMC Specialist Register for Trauma and Orthopaedics and maintains an active research profile, with peer-reviewed publications in journals such as Hip International and Bone & Joint Research, and presentations at EFORT international conferences.
His approach centres on individualised care. He takes the time to explain each patient's diagnosis and all available treatment options — from conservative management through to surgery — so that patients can make fully informed decisions about their care.
Specialties & Procedures
Mr Shaeir's surgical philosophy is grounded in evidence-based medicine and a commitment to individualised treatment. He believes that no two patients are the same — each treatment plan is tailored to the patient's specific condition, anatomy, activity level, and personal goals. Before recommending any procedure, he carries out a thorough assessment including clinical examination, imaging review, and a detailed discussion of the patient's expectations and lifestyle.
Where appropriate, he favours minimally invasive techniques that preserve healthy tissue and support faster recovery. For hip replacement, this includes the direct anterior approach, which avoids cutting through major muscle groups and allows many patients to mobilise on the same day as surgery. As a certified MAKO robotic arthroplasty user, he offers CT-guided 3D planning and sub-millimetre precision in implant positioning for both hip and knee replacement, helping to achieve a more natural-feeling joint and improved long-term outcomes.
For sports knee injuries such as ACL tears, meniscal damage, and cartilage lesions, Mr Shaeir uses arthroscopic (keyhole) techniques to minimise tissue disruption and accelerate the return to activity. Every patient receives a clear explanation of all available options — from physiotherapy and injections through to surgical intervention — so that the decision is always informed and shared.
Hip Replacement
Primary and revision hip replacement using the direct anterior approach (DAA) and robotic-assisted (MAKO) techniques. Minimally invasive methods designed to reduce tissue damage, shorten hospital stays, and accelerate your return to daily activities.
Knee Replacement
Total knee replacement, partial (unicompartmental) knee replacement, and revision knee surgery. Robotic-assisted (MAKO) options available for CT-guided implant positioning personalised to your anatomy, with the goal of a more natural-feeling knee.
Sports Knee Surgery
ACL reconstruction, meniscal repair, and knee arthroscopy for ligament and cartilage injuries. Treatment plans focused on restoring stability, reducing pain, and helping you return to sport and an active life.
Robotic-Assisted Surgery
Mr Shaeir is a certified MAKO robotic arthroplasty user. Robotic-assisted surgery uses CT-guided 3D planning to achieve sub-millimetre precision in implant positioning, available for both hip and knee replacement procedures.

Conditions We Treat
Mr Shaeir sees patients with a wide range of hip and knee conditions, from early-stage arthritis through to complex cases requiring revision surgery. Whether your hip pain has been building gradually over months, your knee gave way during sport, or a previous joint replacement is no longer working as it should — he is here to help.
Many patients are referred by their GP or another consultant. You are also welcome to self-refer for a private consultation if you would like a specialist opinion or a second opinion on a diagnosis or treatment plan you have already received.
Whatever stage you are at, Mr Shaeir will take the time to assess your condition thoroughly, explain what is happening in clear terms, and discuss every available option — from conservative treatments such as physiotherapy and injections, through to surgical intervention when it is the right step. The goal is always to reduce your pain, restore your function, and help you return to the activities that matter to you.
