MR PETER KEMPSHALL MB BCh, FRCS (Orth), Dip. Sports Medicine

Mr Peter Kempshall is a leading knee surgeon based in Gloucestershire, with over 12 years’ consultant experience dedicated solely to knee care. 

His practice covers the full spectrum of knee problems – sports injuries, ligament tears, meniscal damage including transplant, cartilage issues, alignment deformities, early and late arthritis.

He is one of the few surgeons locally offering customised total knee replacement using the Conformis iTotal system.

This bespoke implant is designed from detailed scans of your knee so that the prosthesis matches your knee structure – helping to improve comfort, function, and recovery. Mr Kempshall offers the Conformis iTotal bespoke/customised total knee replacement because it means that the implant is tailored to the patient’s specific anatomy rather than using a standard “off-the-shelf” prosthesis.  

He believes that personalised implants can drive better outcomes, in terms of improved fit, quicker recovery, enhanced comfort, and potentially a more natural feeling for the patient.  

Patients who have had knee replacements with him report quicker walking, less unexpected pain, and return to activities like walking, swimming, even cycling. In one patient’s own words, “delighted with the knee … I have cycled, walked, swam and canoed a lot … group cycle of 18 miles …” after her Conformis knee.

On Doctify he is rated 4.97 / 5 by over 450 former patients who praise his technical skill, his compassionate approach, his clarity in explaining options, and excellent aftercare.

As a senior member of the Gloucestershire Knee Clinic, he offers both NHS and private care, with modern facilities, dedicated knee teams, and a range of surgical techniques (from keyhole to complex revisions).

If you are considering knee surgery – particularly customised implants, or trying to avoid joint replacement via ligament, alignment, or cartilage preserving techniques – seeing Mr Kempshall gives you access to a surgeon who applies the latest research, tailored care plans, and excellent outcomes.
