Mr Chinnakonda Arvind

I am a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in hip, knee, foot and ankle disorders. I have been working a consultant for more than 15 years and I am currently working as an NHS Orthopaedic Consultant at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading as well as providing private consultation and treatment at Spire Dunedin Hospital and Circle Reading Hospital.

I qualified in 1986 following initial orthopaedic training in India, before coming to the UK for further orthopaedic training in the Wessex region.

During my medical student days, I was awarded the gold medal for Paediatrics and Certificate of Merit for General Medicine. I was also awarded the gold medal for the best outgoing student during my master's degree in Orthopaedics.

I developed a day surgery procedure at West Berkshire Community Hospital for bunion deformity correction. I introduced total ankle replacement to Reading and did my first total ankle replacement in 2005.

I presented my thesis on "differential distraction for club foot" at the Tamilnadu Orthopaedic Association Conference and won a gold medal. I won second prize for my presentation on club foot correction at the Wessex region Gauvain Society meeting.

I was a faculty member for knee arthroscopy surgery at Royal College of Surgeons, London.
