Clinical interests
Mr Wilson is a specialist knee surgeon and has an interest in all aspects of soft tissue knee reconstruction and knee replacement surgery. His sports knee practice involves the treatment of both amateur and elite athletes. He also has a large arthritis practice.
He has an interest in complex key hole or athroscopic procedures including meniscal repair and transplantation. His practice involves a variety of treatments for cartilage damage including Chondroplasty, Microfracture, Matrix Autologous Chondrocyte Transplantation and Mosaicoplasty or OATS.
As well as performing more than 150 primary ACL reconstructions each year, Mr Wilson carries out a significant number of revision ligament and multi-ligament reconstructions.
Mr Wilson treats a significant number of patients with patella-femoral instability. The mainstay of treatment is either soft tissue or medial patella-femoral ligament reconstruction or bony realignment procedures.
Mr Wilson has a large knee arthroplasty practice which includes total, partial and revision knee replacement surgery. For the young arthritic patient, knee replacement surgery is not universally successful as a treatment for osteoarthritis. The alternative is realignment or knee osteotomy. At Basingstoke Mr Wilson has one of the largest osteotomy practices in the country. This realignment procedure works by taking the pressure away from the damaged area of the knee and moves it to a more normal compartment.
Mr Wilson is heavily committed to teaching and research. He regularly presents at National and International meetings. He has published extensively. He is frequent faculty member of a number of high profile knee courses in the UK.
