Meet
Rahul Kakar
Rahul is a highly skilled consultant orthopaedic surgeon with advanced fellowship training from leading centers of excellence in the UK. He has had the privilege of working alongside some of the best surgeons in the field before returning to Scotland as a consultant orthopaedic surgeon. Specialising in knee and hip surgeries, Rahul focuses on primary, complex primary, and revision knee procedures, including ACL reconstruction, meniscal repairs, meniscectomies, and patellar dislocations. He is also proficient in primary and complex primary hip replacements.
Rahul holds a leadership position as the governance lead for the Department of Trauma & Orthopaedics at NHS Tayside, where he also contributes to the education and training of registrars and international MCh students. His passion for patient care extends to his use of enhanced recovery protocols, allowing most joint replacement patients to return home the day after surgery. For knee arthroscopy procedures such as ACL reconstructions and meniscal surgeries, patients often return home the same day.
Dedicated to continuous improvement, Rahul routinely audits his surgical outcomes to ensure the highest quality care. If you're experiencing knee or hip pain or have symptoms of instability, Rahul offers expert consultation and care.
