About Mr James Young
Mr Young specialises in knee surgery including knee ligament injuries, cartilage & meniscal damage and painful arthritis. He is based in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
Having completed his specialist training in London he spent two years working in Brisbane, Australia with internationally renowned orthopaedic surgeons at two elite centres of excellence. This invaluable experience has allowed him to bring cutting edge advances to his Orthopaedic practice. He is now fellowship trained in state of the art Orthopaedic joint replacement surgery using both computer-assisted and robotically-assisted techniques, designed to improve implant position and accuracy. He spent a further year specialising in elite sports injury surgery treating professional athletes under the tutorship of Dr Peter Myers, one of the worlds pre-eminent sports knee surgeons.

I am passionate about Orthopaedics and specifically knee surgery. My drive is to help you get back to your best and achieve your goals.
As a sportsman myself (though not quite at the same level these days) I understand the impact that sports injuries have, both physically and psychologically, and will give you the best and most current evidence-based and highly-personalised approach to getting over your injury and setting clear goals for your recovery.
Painful arthritis is extremely debilitating and affects us both physically and mentally. Arthritis, depending on its severity, can be treated without surgery and a structured programme specifically tailored to you will often be successful. When surgery is necessary then new technological advances in implant materials and design as well as significant improvements in surgical technique mean that we can plan your surgery with confidence. Rest assured that we will only ever suggest the use of the safest implants with the best evidence-based survival and outcome data.
