Expert orthopaedic care for young people
I am a consultant orthopaedic surgeon based in Bristol. I believe that every young person should be given the opportunity to live an active lifestyle, free of pain, and to develop healthy habits that they continue into adulthood.​​
Conditions treated
I treat all Paediatric Orthopaedic problems with a specialist interest in knee conditions from the simple to the complex. I aim to provide every patient and their family with a timely, professional assessment and treatment plan which, for some, may involve surgery.
​
​Children require a different approach to adults. Not only are there anatomical and physiological differences, but social and emotional differences, that vary with age and between individuals.
​I offer private consulting and surgery for 0-18-year-olds with conditions such as:
​
-
Patellofemoral instability/pain
-
Cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures
-
Meniscal pathology (tears, instability)
-
Knee pain and swelling
-
Osteochondral/chondral defects/fractures
-
Osteochondritis dissecans
-
Rotational and alignment abnormalities
-
Limb length inequality
​
Knee symptoms need not be debilitating, and sports injuries need not be career-ending for the young athlete.​
About me
Mr John Jeffery
MBBS BSc FRCS (Tr & Orth) PGDip (Med Ed)
I trained at Imperial College London and completed my postgraduate training on the Oxford Orthopaedic rotation, before coming to the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children, where I was appointed as a consultant.
​
In my NHS practice, I treat general paediatric orthopaedic conditions with a focus on the knee. I have a lot of experience treating young athletes and work closely with regional sports, dance and gymnastics academies. I’m also a regional ambassador for Power Up To Play, helping to prevent knee injuries in youth sports.
​
Outside of work I remain a keen endurance athlete. I understand the resilience and the commitment it takes to perform at a high level, but also to recover from injury and surgery.
