Technology & Surgical Technique
An engineering background naturally draws towards precision tools and emerging technology — but only where the evidence supports them. Every technique below is used because it demonstrably improves outcomes, not because it is new.
RoboticsMako Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery
Robot-trained and certified in Mako knee arthroplasty — enabling pre-operative 3D planning and intra-operative sub-millimetre implant positioning for both UKR and TKR. Consistent, reproducible alignment every time.
Ligament ReconstructionArthrex · Graft Selection by Demand
All arthroscopic ligament surgery uses Arthrex instrumentation and fixation. Graft choice is tailored: Typical graft choice include single hamstring, quadriceps tendon and bone-patellar tendon-bone for high-demand athletes where maximum stiffness is the priority.

Implants / ArthroplastyZimmer PPK & Persona Systems
Zimmer PPK fixed bearing knee for unicompartmental replacement; Zimmer Persona total knee system for primary TKR. Both selected for engineering design quality and clinical longevity data.
PhiliosophyTechnology in Service of the Patient
An engineering background means always asking whether a tool does what it claims. Mr Ross-Thriepland actively follows developments in surgical robotics, digital planning, and orthopaedic biomechanics — adopting what the evidence supports.
Osteotomy FixationJoint Operations New Clip Plate
The New Clip osteotomy plate system for high tibial osteotomy — providing stable, low-profile fixation that supports early mobilisation and reliable healing without compromising future surgical access.
