Nick Clement

Orthopaedic Consultant, NHS Lothian Hospital Trust

Mr Nick Clement is an orthopaedic consultant at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh (UK), and his clinical practice focuses on hip and knee arthroplasty.

He has been awarded a PhD for his work looking at the outcome of total knee arthroplasty, and an MD for his research defining fracture epidemiology and outcomes in elderly and super-elderly patients.

He has recently been appointed as the Clinical Lead for orthopaedics for the Chief Scientist Office in Scotland, and is Chair for research for the Scottish Committee for Orthopaedics and Trauma (SCOT). In these positions he hopes to help to promote and support research projects across Scotland, and to establish national and international collaborations.

He is the author of over 350 peer-reviewed publications and several book chapters, and believes that only through collaboration can true orthopaedic science progress.

His recent publications in relation to robotic assisted surgery suggest that patient outcomes following hip and knee arthroplasty may be improved with the adoption of such technology. Whether this is a cost effective intervention in the NHS is however not clear.
